My Dinan 550i had more of an oversteer characteristic with stock tires.
The 911 doesn't have an understeer issue either.

Agree with all points. I might not have been all so clear in my post though. I have had 7 AMG's two of which were the exact same chassis and weight distribution along with suspension and tire setup (both with different steering). Clearly to me, the electronic steering held the car back in higher speed bends than did the hydraulic variant... These were both E63's. Either way both cars dont have the same steering feel that my 6 M's have had.
Just my ownership experience.
