Got a 430iX as a loaner. Wow, major turbo lag on initial throttle and the suspension is way too softly damped, plus the steering feel was numb and artificial (redundant observation). Another totally forgettable piece of crap from the Bavarian's.
I think the quick steering rack on the 1M has spoiled me for all other cars, even putting aside the hydraulic/electric difference. I'm so used to my car turning in *right now* that whenever I drive something else I feel like I have to spin the wheel like a madman to actually make it turn.

Conversely, I suppose it's entirely possible others would think my car's steering is too twitchy, but I don't.
