They still found the steering a bit heavy at low speed, even with servotronic.

Something must be different about the Canadian spec x35i because my steering is very light at low speed on my x35i. I wouldn't mind if it were heavier. Very easy to maneuver in all situations.

I wonder whether the servo pressure varies between vehicles, because I too find it rather light.

I can rotate the wheel with one finger, even at low speeds. Changing wheels to performance summer tires with a bigger attack surface helped, but I still find it a tad on the light side.
