Any F01, F02, F10, F12, F13, or F06 with xDrive gets a hydraulic steering rack while the i variants receive EPS. Car and Driver did a pretty interesting test using a 528i and a 535 xDrive to see how the two compared. Heres the link:http://www.caranddriver.com/features...n-test-feature. From my experience, the hydraulic steering on a 535 xDrive I drove for a couple weeks felt better than the steering of a 640i GC i drove for a couple weeks as well. However, the 640i with the EPS had parking assistant, which was actually awesome, while the xDrive models don't have it because of the hydraulic steering.
