I also hesitate pulling out of a spot into traffic under heavy throttle because I’m not confident on how much steering to dial in nor do I know if the steering wheel will firm up and straighten itself out.
Is the steering wheel on other F10s overly light also or does having sport package correct that? I remember having a 330i that BMW retrofitted with a “heavier” steering wheel. I wonder if the option will be available at a cost.

The F10 has electronic steering as opposed the the E60 and 330i's hydraulic steering --- that's why it doesn't have that heavy feel. The hydraulic and heavy steering is a thing of the past now as the new 3 series has electronic. If you want hydraulic steering, you'll have to get an F10 M5.
