M135i steering and brake feel
Discussion
Took delivery of an M135i on March 1st and 2000 miles later it's doing most of things I wanted from a 4 seat, 4 door, family run around. The only disappointment is steering and brake feel. Steering is too light with no feedback as to what is going on at the wheels. Sport mode improves a bit, but not much. Brakes are just numb and difficult to modulate.
My comparison is with a Porsche 911 GTS, which still sits in the garage, so maybe that's not fair, but I would be interested to have comments from other owners. And before there is a chorus of "it's not an M car so what do you expect", I'm posting here for two reasons: (1) like it or not, most M135i owners look at this forum first, and (2) I have a new M3 on order, specced and confirmed for July delivery. The original intention was to hand back the M135i (I have a pre-agreed price with the dealer) and sell the 911. But will the M3 steering be any better? Is this what we have to accept in the era of electrical assistance?
