Steering is a tough thing to tune, and EPS only makes it more-so, especially since it is a technology that is still young and is changing quickly.
I remember when the first E92 M3 press reports came out, some reviewers panned the steering. In fact, I recall some that said it was worse than the E90 3 Series with sport package. Over time it became something of a non-issue, but the point is, we have to be careful reading too much into the M235i reports. As I recall it, M Division employees have said in interviews that they targeted a lot of development effort at the steering of the car. It is very important, after all. Let's hope they got it right. My bet is that they have.
