When I was in Munich recently and had the opportunity to talk to some engineers, all this are taken into account during the development stage. When the E60 525 M sport was launched many complained about the harsh ride quality and some opted for the standard 523. Now with EDC, that should cater to everyone's taste. However, the optimum setting is normal, best compromise for comfort and performance as I was told. Then there is the steering feedback issue, now with efficiency being the rage amongst manufacturers, EPS is the norm and some loss of feedback is expected but the question is how much?? Some folks like it light for city driving and some like it 'heavier' for a more natural feel. This being an enthusiast forum will naturally see more wanting a more performance oriented setup. Similarly with the engine note, if nvh is improved then the sound from the exhaust and engine will be muted. Having driven the f10, I think it has the right balance. The only model which has a muted steering feel is the x3 in my opinion. It's way too light, like the Camcords. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
