Why even compare a 2 series with an F30? That makes no sense.

The M135i has been praised by journalists left and right for being an amazing car (especially at this price range). There are plenty of videos and articles that will confirm that.

And we aren't even talking about the full blown M2 here.
Let's be realistic. There is no way that any future BMW, M or not, will come with a HPS. (I heard major part suppliers are all moving away from HPS.) Furthermore, in all likelihood the EPS unit will be the ZF units across the board that have become standard for German cars, including Porsche.

Now maybe some day they will be able to program an EPS to emulate a good HPS realistically enough, but their operations are quite different at the core, and it is non trivial to make one feel like the other. It is def. NOT just an issue of steering weight.
