135 steering stiff

Do these have the new turbo engine (single turbo with twin ports or something - does the same job as twin turbos)?

Yes, twin scroll turbo. :thumbsup:

Awesome! There was a 335i DCT with this new twin scroll turbo at the recent BMW M run - very nice combination! :drool:

Yep, same kw & torque

What did you drive before?

I had a f/l Focus ST before this.
Guess I will have to compare it with another 135 to see if its normal.

Also drove a ST before my BMW and the steering is definitely a lot stiffer. You come to appreciate it when doing some sporty driving as it feels more direct and connected to the road.

My wife drives a new Fezz and permanently complain about the stiff steering compared to her car.

I've come to love it.

Somewhere i read that the new n55 has an over boost function for a brief amount of time pushing the power to 250kw and torque of 500:excited:but the n55 is way more aggresive than the n54, my experiences

I have found the 135's steering to be heavier than my E46 M3's.....I like it though, since to some extent the E46 M's steering sometime left me with a slightly disconnected feeling.....

I also felt this on my 135. At least now I realise I wasnt the only one who thought this. I assume it is normal.

Its the way it should be...tight & solid feel.
Enjoy the One.:thumbsup:
