F30 handling and road feel
I'm enjoying the F30 thoroughly but at times I've noticed that the steering feel can be a little vague. Especially when going over bumps and corners at slow speed. I was wondering if this will get better as the car breaks-in? Also will changing the run-flat to traditional tires provide more feedback to the driver? I hated my E90's ride when I had the run-flats for the first two years so I'm interested to know if anyone has tried swapping their F30 ones. Please share your experience!

Occasionally I drive my brother's E46 (I also owned 2 E46s), so I get to "remember" how the old hydraulic feels and readily compare with the F30.
At the end of the day, I don't have any issues with the electric steering. Ironically the E46's steering feels too heavy at times.

Maybe its just me but I'm noticing that the steering feel changes depending on the road incline/decline, speed and corner radius. Sometimes the steering is light but at the other times its very close to the E90 one. The E90 steering feel was always the same but F30 seems to change depending on the situation.
