I think Z8 Eldred aka the Mud Man :-) is right- but I can see how the reviewers might come to their conclusions about the steering as Ive found that around 3500 miles something occured with the car that it sticks to the road better and the steering feels better. I asked someone at BMW about this and we discussed 2 things- the suspension settled in (I dont know if this really happens or not) and that the run flats might take a little longer to break in. Either way, I now have 7,000 miles on the car and it drives beautifully.
