If so, do you detect and steering "feel" differences such as firmer steering effort, better road feel for what the tires are doing, etc..?
I believe you also posted that there will yet another new rack coming early next year, yes?

I did drive a few others F30s with older racks (Sport and other lines). All exhibited some level of steering wobble. Some were very noticeable, others were not really detectable unless you let go of the wheel. None had the DHP package. Back in October I couldn't find a dealer car to drive with DHP.
Steering definitely tightens up a bit when in Sport+ (I think Sport mode as well). Haven't driven enough to report back on handling. Will do so in coming days.
www.realoem.com indicates the current November+ rack will be EOL after June 2013 production. Of course this could change. I suppose if it works, why change it? Unless BMW has something else up their sleeve (which I'm sure they do).
