[QUOTE=Jon D;9879821]In March of this year BMW changed the entire steering rack/motor/control assembly and the part number is the same as that fitted to the F12 640i.
I've driven the new 6 series over a period of several days, totalling about 600 miles over all types of road surfaces and conditions. The steering is far more responsive, but that could be due to different programming, wheel size (20") and tyres. However, the vague on-centre lack of feedback is still present, albeit to a far lesser degree.QUOTE]

JonD - are you absolutely certain about this?

I have been having a 12 month battle with BMW to get them to do something about the vibration I experience at motorway speeds, but they refuse to acknoweldge a probelm exists and "do not plan any product enhancements"....

If the entire teering system was changed in March 11, that's a pretty major acceptance the original design was flawed.

I have a June 2011 build 520D.
