Hi,

Servotronic is not standard in Turkey, as well.
My X1 is without servotronic and I did not add it in my order on purpose.
I have not been very happy with servotronic's feeling in my Z4 and beacuse of this I preferred to not have it in X1.
Servotronic can be very helpful in low-speed driving and parking maneuvers. However, it's not offering enough fun, responsiveness and (for me even safety) in high speeds. On the other hand, non-servo steering is light enough if you get used to.

Anyway, if you are not convinced, I believe that you can retrofit a servotronic kit. I know that there are several old BMW's retroffited with aftermarket servo kits in Turkey. Besides you don't have to stick BMW's original servotronic kit. There are different options.
