This claim was huge. It's another thing to say they benchmarked the e9x m3's steering and feel they've achieved that with EPS. I expected that claim and I expected it to mean that they nearly reached e9x levels.
To say they beat it indicates they feel it's superior or at least even, which would be a mega-accomplishment with EPS.
Porsche put enormous effort into their 991 platform in getting the steering to feel similar to the 997.2 given the longer platform of the 991. They reached it 95%.
If BMW either learned from Porsche or otherwise achieved similar levels, it's going to start tearing down the "EPS is always ruinous to steering" myth.
