Good thing is that the F10 has all the fixes in place, at least in Europe. I would definitely get an x-drive or older model with hydraulic steering until BMW has its EPS on par with hydraulic systems. Or drive a model with all these fixes applied to know what I would be getting into.
I bought a F10 550i and took delivery of it in June 2010 the release date, 4 months later my dealer bought it back because they couldnt fix the pulling issue, I reordered a new 550i and to this day have never been more please with the steering.

I run my car many times on the Nürburgring and daily drive it well over 100mph on the autobahn to work, car is solid and steering is precise.
