Based on my 3 test drives (2 28's and 1 35), I agree that the F25 has very poor steering feel, especially compared to BMW's with hydraulic power steering, but even compared to cars with Servotronic. Several reviewers have noted that as well.
Do you have DHP? The variable steering ratio might also explain what you experienced. A review I read somewhere on the web noted almost exactly the same thing and blamed it on variable steering.
