Yep, as far as I’m concerned it’s an E89 trait. I’ve fiddled with tyre pressures on MPSS’s but it’s still there, which is what Smartbear is getting at, they’re just not very well designed imho.

Giving the steering a wiggle at say 50mph feels like there is excessive body roll but more at the rear of the car. I drove my girlfriends standard diesel A-Class last night and it feels tighter and more responsive than my Z4john-e89 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 11, 2018 10:41 pmPushing on through twisties the 35is feels as though it has a barrel of water in the boot that sloshes and is slow to transfer weight, then when it catches up it it really slams to one side, something that doesn’t happen in the M roady, with the ligher front it felt even more apparent.
Having said that Stuartinzig who occasionally pops on here has modified his 35is chassis. I can’t recall what he did exactly, but he reported a significant improvement in the handling. I’m not sure if that included steering feel though. Worth dropping him a PM if you want to modify, he’s a nice chap.
