I am pretty darn sure that my steering gets much heavier the second I drop my transmission into DS from D. Others have said it is just the servotronic doing its thing like always and my imagination. Can anyone confirm 100% one way or the other. It seems to me that no matter how I am driving and at virtually any speed the second I go into DS the steering gets heavier as well as the obvious shifting changes. It makes logical sense to me since BMW says that position is meant for sportier driving so I am thinking they adjust steering feel AND shift points. Or is it shifting alone?

Thoughts?
