Superb road feel through the seats and chassis, great throttle response, and a world-class transmission -- coupled with a steering feel that was solid, but not superb. At least, not on par with everything else that made that car so wonderful to drive.
I suppose that's fair. They do make up for it though with the chassis giving a lot of clear feedback, while the actual steering is a little muted. It's partially the weight, but there are certainly lots of cars with less steering feel than the S2k including many with a traditional hydraulic rack.

Again, just trying to say that if BMW goes back to the drawing board on the F30 setup, there could be hope. If they just reprogram the existing F30 setup, I think we'll all be disappointed.
