The way this engineer responded shows the disconnect BMW has with its hardcore audience, which sometimes happens when you become number one. Look at GM, it took them 50 years to figure it out.
The f80 steering is slower than the e90. It's like the e46. I personally can't stand that. Have to give more input to achieve the same amount of turn. I almost flew off track not giving enough steering input the car wasn't turning and just pretty much going straight in a 90* left hand turn LOL.

E90 is only 1.25 turns to full lock. 458 is 1 turn. I love fast steering racks.
