Power Steering

Hi all,

I know that traditionally the power steering on beemers is 'heavier' than other manufacturers - for a level of feedback, but for work I have recently been delivering brand new/nearly beemers around the country and have noticed that my cars steering is heavier (than newer ones).

This sounds like an obvious thing to say when my car is a 55 plate, and has done 100,000+ miles, but I wondered if anyone could help me remedy it.

Its not horrendous, far from it, but I just wondered if there was an easy fix?

Any help is much appreciated.

I have a 118d if that is of any use

Thanks very much
Dan

The new ones have electric steering.

Right, I recently went to a 2012 135i MSport (with hydraulic steering), from a 2011 X3 35i (with electric steering). The steering on my 135i is much "heavier" but provides better road feel.

That all makes sense, thanks guys

new Beemers (electric) steering make me feel I am driving a Lexus
