[QUOTE=SeanWRT;26134466]I'm under the impression the GTS steering is already lighter than pre LCI. It's difficult to imagine F87cs is a lot lighter.
I sense the following myself:
In feel order:
1. F82GTS
2. F87 (F020-19-03-530)
3. F87CS
4. F87 LCI
5. F87 OG
In terms of weight (heaviest first):
1. F87 LCI
2. F82GTS
3. F87 (F020-19-03-530)
4. F87CS
5. F87 OG

Haven't tried the F80CS. The F87 comp = "F087CS"

Alfa Romeo Guilia QV also has a very light steering and it is a couple leagues better steering than M.

This is was true and was a big issue with the early BWM EPS - it was awful, as many of us know. However, the firmware for the ///M EPS steering rack has evolved a lot and is IMO a success story for the digital car - there is now plenty of feel for sure, and in many variants more than in the F90 cars. The only thing it lacks IMO is the way you can hang your weight onto hydraulic steering in a bend - the EPS isn't quite as good in the final parts of resistance, but in all other areas is now very good.
