I agree with the reviewer, the C does feel more in tune with the road than the F30 3 series. As for the ATS, I still need to test drive it.
The steering is fine. Actually, I'll have to pull up an article in a magazine I just read which reviewed both steering setups (electric vs hydraulic) in a 5 series and evaluated them from a SCIENTIFIC standpoint. Anyone else read it? I think it was C&D...

Also, "in tune with the road", do you mean teeth chattering ride quality? I frankly cannot stand the ride quality of the C and the pig it is in the corners.
