My personal observation is that the change in steering feel in the F-series cars goes deeper than just the power assist type. It seems to be a large change in the mechanics as maybe geometry,materials, type of fittings etc. from the earlier generation cars. I don't know how to otherwise explain the huge difference in steering feel between for example an X-drive F10 and an X-drive E60. Both has HPS. Or why an HPS F10 feels very similar to an EPS F10. The same is true for the 6s, the HPS is not noticeably better than the EPS and both are significantly number than any E60. I actually think this can be a positive for the F80 if BMW has been working on tuning the mechanics and geometry of the rack as well as the EP assist.
