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.
IAS is also only available on non xdrive cars which I actually really like on my GC.
