However, I keep changing the steering back to Sport as it has the sensation of being tighter handling, but I don't think it actually is...it honestly just feels heavier just for the sake of being heavy. Steering feel in Sport Individual (Comfort) seems to be just as precise but just lighter NOT any more loose which is a good thing.

Not sure if this is a question, comment, observation, etc but I would love to hear everyone's opinions on the steering feel (I'm thinking only on the M340i since the other models have a different steering rack if I'm not mistaken).

I agree with everything you said. The steering is artificially heavy in sport+. I think BMW has confused precise to mean heavy.

That being said, I don't mind it. I like a bit of heft to the steering, but I do wish that was in conjunction with more precision and road feel.
