Steering felt tremendously-heavy at low speeds (almost excessively), but felt much better once at speed (though it could be because of the aftermarket wheels on the car I tested).

I think of it like a nicer, grown-up and softer BRZ.
Wait 128i with a 6 cyl? So you’re talking about a E82 with a N52? Those were from the last good years of BMW and drive absolutely nothing like the new ones.
