to Sygazelle on monoballs and also my observations on F30 steering

On monoballs, my Dinan dealer advised me to stay with OEM parts since the monoballs introduce unpleasant harshness. Steering feel is modest at best I agree and maybe I should look at this monoball matter? DO monoballs help the dead feel?

My 2014 335 Xi has non RF Michelin all seasons (245/18 stock size) which are essential, but the car's principal steering issue is the so called adaptive steering where the boost increases markedly as you dial in more lock. It is difficult to maintain the correct line with this going on, and it compounds the problem of steering deadness. My car has Dinan springs and a strut bar with the adaptive OEM shocks and it is a good handling and decent riding sedan. But I was unaware of BMW offering a software fix to the steering.

Please advise if this is correct information. My car does not wander; it's basically ok but any help with the increased boost on higher lock and the dead feel would be extremely welcome. I am skeptical this exists.
