Drove a M850 Xdrive Convertible

I drove a M850 Xdrive Convertible on Sunday. Nice car. Very powerful. Responsive transmission. Sonic Blue is sweet. Seats are comfortable. Screen is a little unfamiliar and will take time to get used to. Lack of knobs for climate control really stinks.

But what could be a deal breaker is the steering. So artificial! I turned the wheel and it felt like there was a slight delay in the wheels turning. It also felt very over boosted. It was not natural at all and very un-BMW. BMW's are known for their steering feel and this felt worse than a Tesla or a video game. I was told it was the assisted steering feature.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that has noticed this.
