It seems like all manufacturers got on board with the switch to EPS at the same time. They all know it doesn't feel as good as hydraulic, but with the EU and the U.S. both requiring increased efficiency, all major manufactures had to do all they could to squeeze extra mpg where ever they could...and EPS is an extra half mpg or so. Its almost like they all got together and said, "we're all gonna have to do this so lets just start now." I don't think its coincidence that Porsche switched around the same time. They just seem to have done a better job of creating an electronic rack that manages to have a good feel to it. I think BMW will get there eventually.
