I quite agree, especially with your comment regarding the F10. It's an extremely good car in just about every respect, with the single, and very significant, exception of the steering. BMW's switch from hydraulic to electric assist has detracted from their trademark pinpoint handling accuracy and, from the general consensus, it would appear that all future models, including the F30, will follow suit.
