Yup. As a previous owner of an E39 M5, I agree while it wasn't the most tactile of steering setups of the time, it was definitely far from being as numb as modern BMW EPS.

Not exactly a great steering benchmark for the G20 to be held to... But it is telling: if it is even worse than the E39 M5's, then damn it must be totally devoid of any feedback whatsoever.
