That was only said to help sell cars. The F30 steering rack is a piece of junk. EPS is an absolute joke and that particular system has no place in a sporty car. Even if they improve it two fold, it would still not be fit for purpose by BMW's legendary standard. The problems don't rear their heads in everyday driving, it occurs in moment where the car isn't sure what kind of resistance to give based on the variables. Say, if you are turning, off camber, maybe uphill or something and there's some gravel on the road. Or at least that's what I found.

I am sure journalists love it.. but I'll reserve judgement to my (soon approaching) test drive of the M3.
