Just got '02 330i w/ SP - steering feels a lil' light

Is this normal? I've read that the 2001 330s were plauged by light steering but had heard that the 2002 330s had new racks put on them that make the steering feel heavier/confident. I just checked and my steering rack has a 2.8 turns lock-to-lock ratio which would confirm that it has the new revised steering rack. And, my tire pressures are set at 30F/35R. The strange thing is that the 2002 330i SP that I test drove two months ago when I ordered my car felt like it had heavier steering.

Does anyone have any suggestions what the light steering on my car may be caused by?

Question for robg

Rob,

What do you think about running 30psi on all 4 tires even with the staggered tire setup? I have the SP so it came with 225s in front and 245s in back.
