I really love my new F30 but every time I get behind the wheel of my e46 it gets me thinking:

The F30 is still the best product on the road in my opinion and that's why I bought one. A symptom of the times I guess.

I think it belongs on an infiniti Q50 more than a 3 series. drive by wire steering.

MasterMG · 11-14-2013, 06:52 PM

I swear, if you put it in sport+, and you can get the road noise quiet enough, get up to 30 - 40 kph, if you crank the wheel back and forth like a mad man...

Your heart will break when you hear hear & feel the whine from the little electric motors in there; Just like the $80 Logitech wheel's for your 360 from Walmart.

Sign of the times? Gas Savings? I wish they would just admit it, Cars will drive themselves soon, so it's a logical step. -- Still makes me miss my 2011 335 though, that car was on rails and you could feel it.

But hey, q50 is offered with hydraulic as an option for enthusiasts. Jus sayin.

The steer by wire I think comes with the technology package on that car. I dont think you can get a loaded q50 without the new steering. hydraulic is available but I think there might be a catch.

I don't mind the Logitech option I would trade it for my rattle package.

bmwluvr24 · 11-15-2013, 12:21 AM

In sport, or sport +, the steering is VERY good. I know it is a different feel from hydraulic, but I like it a bit more. Plus, there are some DAMN good force feed back steering wheel controllers out there!!

NordicBob · 11-15-2013, 12:47 AM

I have gotten used to the electronic steering on my F30 with the 19" wheels and DHP package, but I still miss the go-cart direct steering feel of my prior E46. That being said, IMO the F30 is superior in every other way to my prior BMW.

Sephanite · 11-15-2013, 02:58 AM

That's degrading. The logitech wheel definitely has better feedback

I must admit that my Logitech keyboard definitely has better feedback than the keypad on my new iPad.

Whoa. Struck a nerve I see. My lack of posts doesn't make this any less true. I was merely posting a humorous photo - not complaining (love my F30, best car on the road etc).

I personally think your picture is cool and took it as humor.

Even though I have the same steering wheel, I didn't notice the Logitech emblem on my iPhone at first.
