The lightness at parking speed is actually due to the servotronic variable power assist that the active steering is bundled with. The regular E70 apparently has much heavier steering at parking speeds.
I have to say that the surround view and active steering make my E70 very easy to park. I still like the feel of the steering though, I did not like the F15 steering. So much so that I have reconsidered plans to trade in my 3.5yr old E70.

Active steering imo is well done on F15, I had it on E71 and it is even better on F15. Steering feel (though artificial) is much better with M package (test drove model without M package and was considering not to buy the car).
