I think this whole issue of what we term fast or slow, depends on what you expect in an average BMW road car.

I see a steering system that gives just 2.2 turns lock to lock, with an average ratio ~12.2:1, as much faster than the standard 2.7 turns, with a 15:1 ratio, in this same application.

E92 M3 has 2.4 turns lock to lock, (again variable) with an average (overall) ratio of 12.5:1, so the F30 with VSS is not doing too bad is it?
