In Reply to: See prior posts regarding negatives of 540 vs. 528 posted by james on April 17, 2000 at 09:13:30:

: (1) recirculating ball steering for the 540i versus rack and pinion for the 528; the rack and pinion is far superior.

: (2) the 540i car is too heavy, even with sport suspension; it is not nimble enough for a sports sedan.

Yes, the six-cylinder cars have better steering. No question.

No, the weight difference between the sixes and the eights is not much. The only real difference in feel is the steering.
