Wheel problem!!!
SORRY BUT MY ENGLISH ARE NOT VERY GOOD I WILL TRY TO EXPLAIN WHAT I THINK IS WRONG WITH MY CAR... I CHANGED MY WHEELS BEFORE 2 WEEKS I PUT (17'INC 225, 45) PREVIOUS I HAD THE STANDARD WHEELS 16'INC. AND KNOW I CAN FEEL EVERY deficiency of the road. the steering wheel follows the road, FOLLOWS THE CURVES. I DONT FEEL IT WELL... I HAVE TO PUT STRENGTH WHILE IM DRIVING. LIKE THE TRAIN FOLLOWS THE railway line. I DONT KNOW IF THE PROBLEM IS THE STERRING WHEEL OR THE WHEELS... I DONT KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN TO YOU BETER...

I have BMW's 107 Ellipsoid 18" wheels and I have the same issue, My guess that this is normal due to the size and weight of the wheel. But when put in sport mode it feels less.

It is called tramlining and is very common, especially with run-flat tires. Changing your tires should help. Good Luck.

John, if you have RFTs then increase pressure to 38psi. See if this helps.
What about wheel alignment? Get it checked ASAP.

It's not just the runflat tires...it's the electric steering. You have no physical connection between the steering wheel and the tires...that's why you don't feel anything. The M's hydraulic steering allows for much more feedback.

Hydraulic has been around for many years and works, period. So many ask (enthusiasts) why change? Good question. Some cars are using electric water pumps for the same reason. |

While I may have oversimplified the thing...if you look at the steering columns...you'll note the giant electric motor in one where there is none in the other. The electric motor is where all the feed back is lost.
