Poor turning radius?

spr,
No you're the first to point this inconsequential fact. Thank you. Another reason not to buy a BS.
BTW, if you think the radius is substandard try driving a GR-R or for that fact any front wheel drive car.
As far as the sterring effort, I find it quite effortless at over 100mph.

Depends on how you turn.
Try this:
Turn off ASC
Select manual, first gear
Left foot on brake,
Turn wheel 1/4 turn in desired direction
Rev to 2,000
Release brake
You will turn within the length of the car- good by any standards, and almost no steering effort. Tell us how it works out for ya. AS

that's exactly what I thought when I saw the title of this thread....... very short turning radius, never a problem for me!

I understood what you meant, I was not trying to bust your ***** either. There are a few less degrees less L-R directional movement in the steering of a BS compared to a standard W204 CLK. I assume this might have something to do with tie-rods, front sway bar settings and maybe even the width of the front tires, maybe the fat tires rub if the steerring had as much L-R action
