Oh well, anyhow they all need to adopt it for the 1% fuel consumption it offers now…

I must say the latest ones are better, like on my M4 for example, but for the best ‘feel’, and I use that loosely, I always put it in the lightest/comfort mode…

Speaking of electric steering, not many folk seem to like the electric steering on the Pork 991 - could the 997 be peak pork?

This weeks BMW interesting fact.

BMW on all their cars don’t position the wheels straight, they are at an angle (rears pointing in and fronts pointing out slightly) to improve handling apparently. This means your tyres wear more and you use more fuel. Fronts wear on the outside more and rears on the inside more. This fact was brought to you by ATS guy who has just replaced 2 tyres on my BMW. Apparently the worst BMW for tyre wear is the X5.

If you see driving as a chore, then you might not want it set up for best handling, I guess.

You should go back to Mercs - they’re perfect for people who hate the idea that driving might actually be fun.

I think you might be right there…

I’ve got 35,000 miles on my car and still on the first set of tyres.

Oh I don’t know, it appears to be very precise.

I’m sure there are people who’d rather not have power steering

If only it was all about precision!
