I've only taken a 1 for a short test drive on a rainy day so didn't get that much experience with it, but it seemed pretty good. If this is a unique charateristic of the 1M, frankly, I might trade my 3 for a 135i instead. Is this also a criticism of the M3?
Go out and drive an E30 M3 back to back with any other BMW post E30 chasis and you will understand lack of steering feedback.

The closest thing I can find to decent steering feel in a newish BMW is the E46 M3 and the E46 ZHP.
