2009 S63 AMG Steering Wheel Issues

Hello everyone !
I just got a pre-owned 2009 S63 AMG.
The steering wheel seems very heavy - even at parking speeds and seems not to "roll back" when I get out of a turn.
Is this natural and if not what seems to be the issue ?
Many thanks, Nir.

I have had people who drive my AMGs and say the steering is very heavy because they aren't used to driving a car that needs stability at 150mph. If your car has variable assist then you should have it looked at.

You non-centering of the wheel after a turn is usually caused by "zero" caster. I don't know if it is adjustable on your car but it can be checked with an alignment.

Congrats on your new ride!
