just drove a sport package e60 from 2004, 530i specifically
it had a PERFECT ride and handling balance for me, it darts wherever you want in an instant but absorbs bumps very well. it is nice and quiet, body lean is a little high but the bolsters hold you firmly in place....however...

....the steering was utterly numb
....the throttle was mushy and did nothing for half the travel
....the brakes were bitey also with no feedback

are there any mods to address these issues? especially the steering feedback, i really want to know what the tires are doing and get some weight on the steering in corners

i mean, damn, i love the e60 so much but this is a huge dealbreaker!
however i am confident in the prowess of the mod community
help me e60 post, you're my only hope!

EDIT: if the post LCI models had tighter steering that's good too, i'm more seriously looking at a certain 2007 e60 with lots of the comfort features i want
