Very heavy steering weight at speed

Just curious, is the heavy steering a feature of the E55?

Mine is very heavy at speed but is extremely light when parking. I understand this is intentional but it feels like it has no assist at speed.

Normal?

Yes, at speed you do not need any assist. You need stability!

It is possible that the valve that adjust assist is not working correctly but sounds to be normal operation to me. Do know know anyone with the same car you could drive to compare?
