Absolutely. The S2000 was highly praises for it's steering and over all feel.
It IS in the tuning.
Both the new Lexus IS350 and Caddy ATS have EPS and they don't get knocked at all for their steering and feel compared to what BMW did with the F30.

But it's highly unlikely that BMW hasn't heard owners and the press, and the 2's steering will likely be retuned.
BMW has already had a couple of revisions on the steering rack in the F30, and rumor has it that for 2014 models there will be yet another new rack.
Likely it will return some of that old BMW steering feel, hopefully.
