Don't think I am going to get it because I thought the steering felt great before without it but will try and drive an X5 with it today to see difference. It is impossible to find an X6 around here with it to drive.

One other note I find odd is that my window sticker for the '08 50i had 13/18 for mpg and the '09 sticker now says 12/18. Wonder what changed or if the 12 was more realistic and EPA made them adjust it.

Interesting...I definitely never get over 12 of mixed driving...I don't know what people who were saying it was higher were thinking...I drive fairly aggressively, but these are almost Bentley W12 numbers...weird...I wonder what the new 7 series will post, as it is lighter, but if it is this low, it will hurt sales...

I drove the ne 7 series and it's all alloy for a start and "Much" more economical by far.
