Clearly steering of modern BMWs is harshly criticized. I don't race cars, but I do enjoy swinging through twisties on back roads. I drive around 40k miles a year and a good portion of that is back road fun. I don't find the steering to negatively affect performance in this respect. Is this a thing that is just a preference, or does the "feel" and road surface "feedback" to the steering wheel really inform a driver in a way that allows them to take a corner faster? Is it the weight on the wheel that builds progressively the harder you go that people desire? Admittedly, I don't drive a lot of sports oriented cars, so I just may not have the experience to understand it.
