I live in Houston where most roads are straight but on the curvy ramps and some parkways I feel that the steering is too heavy and take considerable effort to keep the car turning with the road...

Steering the rear wheels as in AS option would've helped a lot I think.

I also wish BMW designed the steering with a lighter feel.

Just venting out...
If you came from an E60 to an F10 and you think the steering should be lighter, then something is wrong with your car. The F10's steering is quite a bit lighter than the E60 steering (note, I have not driven an AS E60).

But honestly, you may want to drive another car and see if it's the same. Because you would be the first to have this issue.
