My old e90 and current hellcat and Corvette have hydraulic steering, for the visceral feeling of steering with your arms and feeling everything from the road through the wheel there's no substitute for that... but it has it's disadvantages too.

While the m340i steering is better than the f30 340i steering it replaced it of course still tells you its electric as theres some artificial resistance happening in all modes and the steering system feels disconnected from the front axle and what it's doing.

That feeling isn't all bad, I find the EPS to further aid the isolation of comfort/smoothness in a car and its tolerably agitating when driving spirited as your brain knows hydraulic and what the wheel should feel like in resistance and in response to the road surface... for a daily driver I think I prefer the EPS overall.
