I think the whole electric vs hydraulic is so overblown. I have both and I actually don't think electric is all that bad, it has the benefits of less parasitic loss and I can parallel park the car far quicker lol.
I am interested to hear more about the difference between the two. One of my favorite attributes of all the BMWs I have had has been the "heavy" feel to the steering. It matters if you turn the wheel an inch in either direction, because the car actually goes somewhere.

Do you feel as though that is somewhat lost with the electric set up?
