In the AutoCar link Scott26 posted earlier today they said the new 1M use a electro-mechanical steering system. Probably simular to the Z4 sDrive35iS. AC only commented on how it has no feel on center. Once off center it feels fine. Maybe that is the way Electro systems feel? One nice thing that they said was it was only 2.4 (?) turns lock to lock. Quite fast.

Here is a quote: "The electro-mechanical steering, for all its accuracy, delivers little feedback on centre but it is quite direct, at 2.4 turns lock to lock."
