I agree on the feel of hydraulic steering, but it's looking more and more like only the M cars will get it into the future

We can thank the high price of gasoline and the ever-more-aggressive fuel standards coming into effect globally.
Unfortunately, as the
WSJ (apologies for the indirect link), Car and Driver, and many others lamented a few years ago, we truly are living at the tail end of the horsepower era.
It will be interesting to see if BMW can maintain its "ultimate driving machine" heritage over the next few years. One thing's for certain: four bangers, auto-start-stop, and the electrification of previously hydraulic components are here to stay, as are ridiculously tight allocations for the less fuel-efficient models in the lineup.
