Steering feedback

Got 2K miles on my M3C RWD and noticed that I'm actually starting to get some steering feedback / feel. I think it's a combination of MP4S finally breaking in to full potential, suspension compressing leading to a little more camber, and carbon ceramics brakes help too.

I'd venture to guess that the added -0.5 deg of camber for the CSL and hopefully CS would add to the steering feedback.

I thought that during the first 500 mile, steering was junk but now I'm actually starting to like it. Keep in mind my previous car was a 718 GT4, so not saying it's world class or anywhere near a GT4 but much better than what I remembered since day 1.

Anyone else notice this?

This is great to hear. I'm coming from a 2014 Cayman that had great steering feedback after having an absolutely numb 2016 340i. Interested to hear what others have to add on this.

As a bald guy once said before pressing the naaazzz button, 'too soon junior'.

Just drove my wife's GLB AMG in a long time and now my M3 feels like it was day one. My mind was playing tricks on me again.

I’m coming from a ‘22 M440 driving a M4 convertible and it was about the 500 mile mark the feedback started feeling knife like. I was just starting to have some fun discovering all that she could do and then I had to park her for three weeks while I’m in Europe. Sigh. I miss my car! And my wife too……..sorta!!
