If so, may be worth getting to view the data for different builds.

I have read that SAT does have increased weight. I think it was one of your past threads that shed light on that. Steering effort does seem to change through the production cycle and with updates.

I live in Little Rock and it is relatively hard to find various spec F10s here. If they were more plentiful, I could just go test drive all of the various 5, 6, and 7 models to make some comparisons.

As it is, I’m having to rely on forum posts and media reviews to point me in the right direction. I may start a new thread asking owners what year/options they have and how they judge their steering. Maybe a clear trend will be evident.
