Noticed the same on the B7 (we considered a 2018 before the got the E63s). Great car BTW

AMG GTC has rear wheel steering which feels quite natural.
Steering is better on the AMG but then the car is 3600lbs (still not light) and has a different setup (RWD, mid-front engine and DCT at the rear wheels)...
