An E90 or E82 running 205 runflats on the front axle steers quite well (light and feels quicker than my 135i ever did).
Later cars can have the variable assist retrofitted with the M3 rack. I fully intended to do it until I drove it without it, and it really isn't so bad. My wife has no troubles with it. The pump on the 1M/M3 is larger, I believe but I don't know what affect that would have.
