I see your point, I'm especially not sold on the speed-adaptiveness, but on test drives it seems subtle enough and I had the (highly subjective) impression Servotronic in Sport mode was less assisted than the standard steering, which I find a bit over-assisted.

In the end Servotronic cost me about 100 Euros more over standard steering, and seeing that it's just software I figured I could always have it coded out if I really don't like it.

Removing the VSS will be a whole lot more involved

P.S.: I remember you (and the 318iS!) from bmwe30.net many years ago. Always enjoyed your posts, good to see you back here, still posting about tire pressures and advocating small wheels and small engines
