I thought all of the E87 and E9x steering racks were artificially heavy and didn't really compare that well to the E46 M3 ZCP and Z4M steering. If M2 owners are saying it's worse than the 135is steering then I'm not super impressed.

Now, I had no complaints at all when driving M2 or M4 ZCP at M school and in my test drives (M2C), but I think steering feel is something that takes a bit of time to figure out.

I did drive a first gen Panamera Turbo and its steering feel was IMO better than every BMW I have driven except E36 M3, E46 M3, and Z4M.
