My $38k e90 328i had such better body roll characteristics, steering feel and corner limits than my $57k f30 335i. And I have the latest steering updates as it's a 2014.
Maybe BMW will offer two choice of EPS on the 3 series down the road, one version similar to the M3's for people who are more performance minded, and one version similar to the current 3 series one for people buying the car for regular DD.

As much as I like a sport oriented EPS, that's not something the average BMW 3 series owner are really looking for. I know quite a few people who like the F3x better than E9x because it feels more comfortable, laid back, and effortless for DD.
Good idea however BMW are already criticised in some circles for making too much good stuff optional...
