    I am closing in on a 2013 335i x-drive 4-door or a 2011 335i x-drive 2-door. I have previously owned a 2007 335i RWD and a 2011 328xi 4-door. Question, does the variable sport steering option on the F-30 bring back the steering feel that everyone in this forum is saying is missing from the F-30?

    It is better than the numb steering on the regular F30, but still not as good as an E90.
    The problem is that most so-called "enthusiasts" do not know the difference between steering effort and steering feel. They think that increased steering effort is enough- but I want to know what is going on at the contact patches. In that respect, the variable sport steering is definitely a step in the right direction, but Munich still has a long way to go; my Mazdaspeed 3 work beater is a more rewarding drive than virtually every F30 I've driven- and this is coming from a guy who has owned BMWs since 1983 and currently has four in the garage.
