- Thanks, Eliot, for bringing forward the subject of Servotronic
- steering in BMW's. I had a lengthy test drive in a 735i, and I
- was disappointed in the variable-assist steering it used. It
- doesn't become meaty until about 60mph, which is way too late.
- The steering is sloppy and loose, not unlike that of the Lexus
- LS 400. I always believed that the steering wheel is the most
- important piece of communication between the driver and the road.
- Can you believe they are going to install Servotronic on the M5
- as well? Everything else about the car is good, but that horrid
- steering just ruins everything that BMW is supposed to stand for.
- The steering in the Q45 is Infinitely (pun intended) better than
- that of the 7-series. Now even Audi is using it; it has come
- one step closer to the Acura Legend.

- p.s. the 325i is a great car; I do like BMW's, except for
- the 7-series.
