EPS has traditionally been installed in main stream cars so far and it hasn't been a performance choice yet. Now that tech has evolved and they are able to get better steering feel it should be better suited to a enthusiast car.

Remember that EPS doesn't replace the steering linkages, it's just an assistance. Just like hydraulic power steering is. The HPS in a 1982 Cadilac isn't exactly renowned for it's steering feel or feedback. If someone has driven aToyota with HPS and felt that it was numb, maybe that is just as relevant to how the M3 steering will be as the relevance of the Cadilac steering is to the HPS in the E9x M3?
