I’ve seen videos of M3W’s making turns in parking lots where they have to do many back and forth moves to get the thing turned around. Is there a lack of appropriate turning angle in the front spindles?

If so, is it the stops on the spindles them selves or limited steering rack travel?

I know different cars have different turning circles, but obviously some are better than others in that respect.

I’m going to jump ahead and say if the M3W does not have enough steering angle built in for a tight turning radius, why can’t it be made for more steering angle?

Thanks guys for the great reports and information.
