Electric Power Steer

So its been a while since I drove the F10 as my daily is a Wrangler. I just noticed how stiff my steering wheel is when driving compared to my jeep and its got me wondering if something needs to be replaced since I've had no warning lights for the past 100k miles. Has the power steering always been that stiff? For reference to myself, I drove my buddies' G30 and it was night and day. I could full turn in his with my pinky, but need my full grip on my F10.

Thoughts?

Any faults being displayed? have you tried to jack the front up and have someone steer and observe any mechanical bind?

No faults and no accidents. Again, it's been about a year since I last drove it, but it just seems like the steering is heavy in Comfort, Normal, and Sports; to be precise, it feels like its in Sports the entire time. Not an issue for me, but the wife says it feels like she's getting a forearm workout.
