Ah, good point - "variable steering" is also ambiguous isn't it?

You're right - no variable ratio on M cars so far. M3/M4 will be the first with electric steering, but I assume still variable ratio is still not in the offing. As another guy says, it wasn't mentioned in the press material.

About the variable assist steering, I suppose that may even be standard now (perhaps that's already been made clear in official material made available so far - I should go back and read). With the e9x M3 it was not standard but neither was IDrive. Now that we have IDrive by default for easy configuration of all these settings (without peppering the entire console with lost of tiny annoying buttons), most of the adjustable gadgetry *could* be standard.
