In a sense, I'd rather drive my old 1973 2002 (not tii) which must have turned to a pile of rust several decades ago.
Just curious, have you tried the Sport+ mode?
It seems to solve 2 of your complaints: turns off the electronic nannies (mostly) and firms up the steering substantially (still not the same feel as the hydraulic in a 1-series).
