Interesting article but car and driver is crapping at BMW as usual
The objective part is "After griping about EPS for years, the shocking revelation is that C/D’s editorial staff preferred BMW’s electric system over its hydraulic assistance. Total votes in seven out of ten rating categories favored EPS by two to eight points each." This is because "For the first phase, a steering committee of 11 editors with many decades of combined experience drove the BMWs—without knowing what type of steering assist was at work—over our favorite southeast Michigan test loop". Car and drivers incessant gripe about the F10's EPS steering clearly shows they have been prejudiced against the F10.
The subjective part of the test (and car and driver's bulshit) is as follows: "The first discovery was that neither BMW excels in steering feel and feedback, an observation consistent with the mediocre reviews we’ve given every 5-series, including the M5, since the sixth-generation design arrived three years ago." The weakness of the F10 is in its suspension, not its steering feel.
