I’m having a hard time believing BMW engineers are struggling to dial in the steering, while other manufacturers are succeeding. Just like the review states "...not a mistake.."
Whether it’s the bean counters, marketing, or engineers sucking on exhaust fumes during brea, something is driving this different approach to steering feel. If we all (not just on this board) voted with our $$$ and BMW sales tanked, I’d bet they respond!
Maybe this will pass, maybe new leadership will bring BMW back to its roots... or develop a niche line that addresses enthusiasts concerns.

Regardless of what the reviewers say, unless the competition completely dominates sales vs the 3 series, BMW has no incentive for a course correction.
