I had a 2021 330XI and hated the steering feel. I took it into the service center as there was an obvious gap "feel" when driving on the highway. I could move it left and right of center approx 1cm each direction with no movement in the car...hated it!
My new X3M40 drives so much better and I haven't noticed any steering feel issues. Not sure if its a better system or application on the X3 vs the 330 but no comlpaints currently.

I would hope it's better in the 40i.
On a positive note, I do like the feel of the steering wheel itself. Nice and thick and feels good to grip. Please keep your mind out of the gutter when reading that last comment.
