Variable Sport Steering DOES NOT MAKE THE STEERING STIFFER and is identical to the Servotronic steering in normal driving conditions. The VSS is not speed dependant and makes no difference to comfort or sport modes: that is a Servotronic steering function. Variable Sport Steering is used for parking and tight manoeuvring. Thatisall. It is simply a faster rack over one hundred degrees of steering lock. That is the only way it is different from Servotronic.


That is your changing steering weight dependant on speed and mode.


That "particular tight steering angle" happens to be anything over 100 degrees.

Thatīs EXACTLY how it is. I only got the adaptive M susp. never opted for the package cause the servotronic made VSS obsolete.
