Steering
Do all the new BMW's have the same crappy steering as my last two X5's have. On my sixth one now and always thought they were the best until recently. Best way for me to describe it as very twitchy. Just rented a Kia and the steering was better.

Hmmm, my steering in the X5 is fine.
If you are having to make a lot of corrections while driving then it could be a few different things:

nope, the new M5 and M6 is just fine, bc it's hydraulic. The retuned CP versions has gotten rave reviews for its steering feel. So your "new" statement can't be true.
But seriously though, what you're experiencing is electric steering and it comes down to the software tuning and personal preference. The new F8X M3/4 apparently is really good. Care to share your prior 5 BMWs?

Don't know what the problem is - but I would say that the steering on the F15 is (IMO) much lighter than that on the E70. I noticed the difference straight away but very quickly got used to the F15. I noticed no real difference between my 2013 F15 and my 2017 one.

Noticed I am constantly correcting my steering while driving with my runflats. Don't have that issue with my non runflat winter set up.

Coming from a 2012 X5 50i I also have noticed a much lighter steering feel. I'm sure that to some people the E70 steering felt overly heavy but to me it was perfect. Has anyone figured out a way to adjust the amount of electronic input via coding or any means? It seems slightly firmer in sport mode (still a world away from E70) vs comfort so I assume it possible to adjust somehow.

This is exactly what I experienced. I had the Dunlops 20" staggered setup and the tramline was definately noticable. I have Bridgestones now and its not an issue.
Just my experience.....
