I have a 14 550xi and find the steering to be GREAT. I came from an 07 335 sport package, which certainly had superb steering feel and handling... and while the 550 feels "different" I've yet to find any way to say it's not precise in steering or handling.

I've found that its steering is a bit "lighter" than the 335 when in Comfort mode, but put it in Sport, and certainly Sport+, and the steering is pretty stiff (as stiff as I think most would want for a 4-door sedan!). In all modes, it's also dead-on precise. I really think there's more mental/emotional stuff going on here than reality.

You may want to check tires and suspension, as well, if something seems way off.
