What the hell happened to BMW... is it just fleet mileage and %recyclable? There's a guy in Sarasota selling a 2001 3.0l Z3 Coupe and I am so tempted...

It's always the damn electric steering.
Everyone I talk to, everything I read, everything I've experienced. I just cannot get over the Electric assist steering. I've driven nearly every non ///M in the last few model years and everyone feels the same. I honestly can't see myself moving past "E" chassis bimmers. (Well maybe the M2)

I would have bought a new M240i if the steering hadn't felt like a 90's Sega Daytona arcade machine. Go test drive a Toyota GT86/Scion FRS/Subaru BRZ. Great steering feel and electric! |

Right? I was so disappointed after testing one. Even my Golf has better steering feel!
I really hope BMW listen up to the criticisms here and invest more in connecting the wheel back to the road. |

Not to mention the drive towards higher efficiency, both in terms of saving 1mpg by the engine not driving a hydraulic pump, but also during the build and servicing of the car.

So is the steering in the M240i the same as the steering in the M235i?

No new BMWs on my horizon. After I bought my 128i CPO I received a questionnaire from BMW about my buying experience. I've only owned two BMWs: my CPO 128i and E46 purchased new. It asked something like my future buying decisions and I wrote that I won't be buying another new or late model BMW. My next car would be a much older BMW or I would be leaving the brand for something else (they hate to hear that).

lol steering "feel" discussion again. It's overblown and most people cannot tell any difference at all between EPS and HPS. First and foremost, it's subjective; one can notice something the other cannot. And secondly, how steering works depends on many factors. I bet my ass that most of the people who hate EPS slap wheel spacers for dat stance and further detoriate the steering without noticing any difference at all.
