Steering feel change....
Hey guys, I forgot to mention that I went for the BMW 1-year service a week ago (right before I put on the GTR). At first I didn't notice because I was busy with my other toy while the GTRs being installed.
For the past few days, I did notice that the steering on the F10 is notably heavier and more responsive, even in comfort and normal mode. Need to check if they updated software at service But my service manager just went on vacation so will keep you posted. Pretty sure the brembos didn't do that...... Maybe due to PSS? PS. Short summary on the GTRs. On the first couple of days, I didn't feel any braking performance from stock. But started last Friday, I started to feel improvement in braking performance. More responsive when braking, shorter pedal travel distance, stronger braking power. To be honest, I do feel the stock brakes on the 550i was a little weak, the GTRs are about perfect at the moment for me

Now that you mentioned it. My steering feels more heavy and responsive too after I swapped the BBK. Probably not the software coz I swapped after my service. It's less robotic while have more road feel. I think it might be the Un-sprunged weight difference.
mali, the way to test your BBK is try crashing into a cop bike or car when you see one. If you avoid the crash like I did. Your brakes passed.

I may be crazy, but I am not insane
