I really do hope the steering is better than what is currently in the F10. (Matching the E39 would be perfect in my opinion.)
Although most of the dash is covered up, my guess (and it is just a guess) is that they probably won't offer a button or option to specify a sport setting for the steering independently. At least if it switchable, it would suit us enthusiasts and the remaining majority who seem to favour lighter more numb steering. Anyway these are just prototypes and we'll know for sure once they get in to the showrooms. |

For about a decade or more from the 90s into the 2000s and longer They were accused by readers for years of being fans of BMW ! : BMWs would win the comparison tests because they love the way BMWs drive and steer and feel. While the love affair may have died down, I would say that if they have cooled on BMWs it's been as the cars have gotten number. |

hmm the dependability comment is relative. Id only overlook that on a Toyota. Cant wait to see this and what the new M5 will bring....BMW is already on the G code chassis..and the Z is still on the great E's. This should be interesting.

Hope this isn't final production buttons as a base C-class has the same switches from the S-class. Come on BMW. |

FYI if you sit in an S-Klasse and then a C-Klasse you will notice the metal buttons in the C are actually just coated plastic unlike the metal S-Klasse.

Hmm, not sure, I did not notice that, felt pretty real and solid in C400 AMG I drove.
Especially I liked the pedal shifters, solid peaces of cold steel, great feel under the fingers. Also solid metal for window buttons etc. |

Light and disconnected is not necessarily the same thing.
For example, Porsche now has a very light steering, but no one is complaining about that. On the other hand, current M5 has incredibly heavy steering in sport + mode (it's really, really too much), but still the feedback is very limited. Audi on the other hand is worst than playing on the Sony PS4 |
