Stiff Steering

Hi all-

I have a 2011 750lxi with 20" wheels. I feel that the steering is a bit too stiff, especially at low speeds. Are all F01/F02's built like this or is there a way I can loosen it up?

My older 745li was much easier to maneuver at low speeds, and stiffened up at highway speeds.

Could it be from the wheels? All suggestions or inputs are very much welcome. Thank you!

Does your steering feel change when you cycle through the different modes (sport, sport +, comfort, normal)?

DBV-

The steering feel doesnt change at all, except on sport or sport plus it it tad firmer, however it very jumpy on bumps at high speeds...

Odd, well service time then.

Looks like you'll be rocking a loaner for a bit.
