I'm not impress with the steering, in sport feels the same as my 2021 M340XI which I trade for the M3C and is no more precise that the M340XI.

There's your problem

fix your psi today, and get PS4S on there as soon as you can

Should be:
32 on all 4 corners cold

The tire pressure is what the car had from day one from the dealer they are nitrogen fill, a charge of $199 from the dealer. The tire has not lost any pressure after two weeks with this nitrogen amazing. I realized that the sticker on the door says 32 psi front 33 psi rear but was just waiting for the pressure to drop like it dropped on my previous cars but nothing so far. I will have to try it with this lower pressure. As far as the PS4S that is the plan, but probably next year.

Yeah the kids working in the back tend to overfill the tires, and that kind of psi difference is pretty extreme and will provide a pretty noticeable difference 👍🏼

I wonder what a set of Delrin or Poly steering rack bushings would do for steering feel.

Interesting thread. I should be taking delivery on my G80x in 2 weeks or so and really hoping the steering is heavier than my '21 Audi S5. It's old-man light.

These G80's have light steering feel, but its direct. IMHO, the area of improvement that would benefit the most is more feedback from the wheel, like feeling more of the pavement with the tire's contact patch. It's not drive by wire, right? There's still a shaft connecting the steering wheel to the rack.

I want this too but I dont know what mods are needed for this sensation. I recently replaced my front control arm bushings with a monoball. It helps with the feeling but I want more

This is what I miss about my 911. The steering/pavement feel was phenomenal.

Stock. Comes that way. If you've ever driven one, you will know. Nobody does steering better.

Does this affect ride quality or just steering feel?

I just made a review on the monoball in this g80 suspension for section "g80 m3 monoball fall line"
To answer your question it affects steering feel and more of the texture of the comes through the steering wheel. I can't answer for you on ride quality bc I live in miami and the roads here are great. For me the ride quality is the same as before
