The standard steering is a bit heavier than an average car, but those of us who owned previous BMWs know that the X3's steering is somewhat light by BMW standards. The dynamic handling package adds weight and feel to the steering. Regarding it being too heavy on the highway, that doesn't sound normal, but I think you're just not used to it yet.
