That sounds absolutely horrifying. If I wanted light steering, or to feel like a passenger instead of a driver, I'd buy a Lexus. BMW initially made this same mistep with the E46, making the steering too light (the ultmate parking machine), before hostile cutomer feedback resulted in elimination of the "new steering."

You honestly expected any different? Just look at what BMW has done with F10's steering (except the M5 model) - they really want some of the Lexus and Mercedes' customers to switch to BMW, and you can't really do that with the traditional "stiff" steering which is not really friendly towards geriatric/feminine/overweight hands
Not to mention electric power steering will give another "+1" in the eyes of EPA which wants to FORCE everyone to "save their $$$ on gasoline."
