Steering Wheel

Not sure if this is a correct Section to post this but here goes, I have a '10 328i Xdrive and I know the steering wheel is stiff on this model,, I want to know if there is another steering wheel I can purchase that give me a less stiff or assisted steering control as my wife has a hard time when driving.

The stiffness isn't in the wheel itself. Your car just doesn't have active steering - nor does mine.

Do you have any mods. My wife has the same issue with steering, narrower or higher profile tires would help.

Has nothing to do with being an xi. All E9x cars have heavier steering than most cars. In fact, it's what many of us love about the car. No way to really change it.

I have a non sport XI. I changed my steering wheel to a custom padded like M sport.

With the hydraulic steering and my pancake wheel it fault awful.

Now with padded wheel I feel like I have complete control. Oh and aftermarket suspension helps too
