I drive my Nov build F30 (with DHP and 19" wheels) daily and in Comfort and Eco Pro mode I feel like I'm driving a .....(my mother taught me to keep negatively to myself). When I click it into Sport/Sport+ I start to smile again. These Sport modes feel MUCH better. Then again I get in my wife's E90 and once again miss my E90 MSport. Miss it just slightly.
The M3 steering is very good. However, its Servotronic is really optimized for higher speeds. At speeds <70mph, it can often feel too heavy. The road feedback is very good. But I have no complaints about the F30 (with VSS) road feedback.

I think the F30 w/VSS gives me 3 steering feels in one. That suits me fine 95%+ of the time. The M3 steering has one feel, which is perfect about 75% of the time.
