Been driving our 2000 BMW 528i for a while and compared to our S70, the S70 has I'd say 1 to 2cm of brake pedal travel before the brakes fully engage. Like when I tap the brakes lightly, you can feel that the brake pads are rubbing against the motor as there's more deceleration G than when you just lift your foot off the throttle. However full brake engagement does not occur till after that 1cm to 2cm of travel.
Is there a way to minimize this, besides by bleeding the brakes? I like how firm the BMW brakes feel and it'd be great if the Volvo can match the BMW's pedal feel. The only downside is that it takes a bit getting used to when trying to brake and stop smoothly.
And is it also possible to make the acceleration pedal feel more firm? The S70's pedal is notoriously light compared to the BMW. Same goes for the steering. The 850's pedal and steering feel is so much better than the S70.
