Anyone got speed sensitive steering?

Got it on my pug 307 , the only advantage is steering is very light when parking.

No you don't. He's not talking about variable weighted steering. He's talking about Active steering on the BMW which changes the rate at which the weels turn in relation to steering wheel input and varies with speed.
 
Apparently it can work with the DSC too, to apply corrective steering:

In conjunction with Active Steering, the DSC brain can even apply corrective lock of up to 5 degrees (which is as much as 60 degrees of input at the steering wheel) should the car start to slide.

My two previous clios had it and i'm not a major fan, after having normal hydraulic pas in the 172 you loose so much feel with it being electric assistance.

Well as 90% of people seem to have the wrong end of the stick, lets just close the thread and be done with it :)

I've got it but in reverse in that I have to turn my steering many times in order to turn the front wheels a little. :D

Back on topic, that's 1 hell of a complex steering system that BM have got, wonder how much of it is under software control?

Yeah deffo.

Oh and those engine things they're using tbh, totally take away from the real experience of driving. And brakes, no one needs those.

:rolleyes:
