Since there are no sDrives to be had in the Pacific Northwest, despite there being only a couple inches of snow a year in Seattle, I cannot try out the RWD version. I am interested in impressions of the EPS and of how the stiffer suspension feels on regular city streets, i.e., potholes, imperfect pavement, etc.

My bad but I didn't realize my 2.8 Sdrive had ESP. At low speeds the steering is light and quick, at higher speeds the steering begins to feel much more BMW like, e.g. heavier but very direct. Frankly I could discern little difference at speeds above 30 MPH when compared to my 135's, and I had three of them. I wouldn't change a thing.
