Basically, the prefacelift is a lazier drive and the steering response of the facelift is more responsive, which is not good for high speed drives. The E39 is also similar to the prefacelift E46, which is a lazier driver.. good for high speed lazy feel and doesnt require as much attention on the road due to tight steering response. Probably Eddiefiola's experience is one of the reasons BMW came up with the concept of Active Steering in the E60 and E90. To satisfy both types of drivers. Longer rack ratios for high speed relax drive, and a tightened ratio down low speed for the responsiveness.</blockquote>
