That's a more accurate statement than just claiming one is lighter than the other. Sport/Sport+ has heft and a nicely weighted steering feel, and arguably feels better than any non-M E9X. The funny thing is that people complained about the light steering in the E9X M3's servotronic rack, but forgave it because it was communicative (..once they adjusted to it). People have really short memories. Normal mode in the M3 wasn't to my tastes, so I always chose the heaviest of the steering modes.
Don't forget, M Sport steering =/= other line steering. M Sport seems almost acceptable for an EPS system, while the noline I drove sucked. Heft was alright, feedback was lacking.
