Here is a quote from a drive review by Bimmerpost: "Unlike many other models of late, the F10 M5 still uses that good ole hydraulic steering rack, and it felt so good being back to this setup." Source

Not my idea. Please look here:

The M50d diesel finished 2nd just behind the N54T. The N55 was awarded fifth place behind the Boxter engine and the regular twin turbo diesel.
Without the extra power I do not think the N54 would have won again last year.
