What surprised me after the F30 launch and all the focus on EPS, we had EPS here in Europe in some E9x models and it hardly raised any comment, was as if it wasn't even on the radar. The only references I recall were by some who appreciated BMW had "lightened the steering", the 'heavy' steering being a negative aspect of driving a BMW to many users.

Even the UK motoring journos didn't have the same negativity to EPS as we have seen in the US, or on the US forums.
