E9x model's steering was good, but personally I think it is over-rated. My E91 steering was heavy, (non servotronic) and like many BMW models very tire/pressure/alignment sensitive for feel and precision.
My F11 (2011 build) is pretty good for an early EPS system. I don't understand all the harsh criticism in the F10/11. I think many find it hard to adapt to a lighter steering weighting. Particularly if previously driving BMW's without the servotronic system. As BMW HPAS systems, EPS is tire/pressure/alignment sensitive. EPS does require accurate calibration to ensure best feel. If the steering wheel is in any way slightly off centre, when driving straight, it takes the edge off the precision and feel. |
It's at high speeds where the hydraulic steering shines and loose steering gets scary
