There are also track width and wheelbase considerations that need to be factored in to just how well the car turns with x or y steering ratio.
If you think 16:1 isn't that bad on a bmw then you've never autocrossed lol. You need 2x as much hand movement as an FRS/BRZ, Miata, or even older BMWs that got quicker racks like the Z4.

I’ve never seen anyone say 3 full turns. C&D called the 135i rack 16:1, 2.7 turns. R&T called it 15.3:1. Automobile Mag called it 2.5 turns.
I never had a GT3 RS. I wish! My 911 and Cayman were both 16.9:1. I did AX some, but, yes, I prefer a track.
FWIW, E46 M3 was 15.4:1. I’m not saying E92 M rack isn’t cool. I’m just saying 135i rack isn’t that bad, so I’d personally spend my money elsewhere.
