Now, the 135i steering is heavier than my Porsches, probably because of the engine placement, but the Porsches I’ve owned have been similar when it comes to ratio and lock-to-lock.
Is it? I thought it was the ratio of the gears in the rack itself, and then the motion ratio was dictated by that ratio and the geometry of the upright?
