Similar thinking here as well. BMW have chosen to make the steering feel the way it is, to suit the bigger buying market, IMO. The complaints here in the UK have been steering is too heavy, etc., etc.

EPS is in itself a much more flexible system than the hydraulic system, can be tuned any which way, BMW are choosing the settings they want. Also allows for flexibility with sport settings for the 'average' sporty driver. And a specific sport steering option for the hard core enthusiast. Something for everyone in reality.
