anyone have servotronic issues??

hey guys, its been a while now that i feel like the servotronic is not working on my m3. in either M mode or not, i do not feel the steering tighten up, if i do, its spontaneous, but overall i dont feel like its working.
If anyone has experience with this problem, can you please tell me how to best resolve it?

at the very least, you should feel it go to "Buick" setting under 15 mph. That is a very obvious signal that the effort modulation is occurring.

Take it to the dealership and see what they say. Servotronic issues are rare, but it happens. I think the typical failure mode is heavy, lathargic steering feel, but I'm sure other symptoms can exist as well.

I had the servotronic go out on my 740. Sign was high effort turning at slow speeds. Cost quite a bit to fix. Get yours done under warranty if it has issues.

I thought I was the only noticing this problem. I have the same issue, and looking for an answer. Might just keep complaining to the dealer since I still have 4 years of warranty.
