Make sure that all of your tie-rod ball joints are tight and that the rack doesn't have any slop.
Neither matches the feel in my manual steering E30 M3, but few cars do.

I haven't had the alignment checked and was planning on getting a custom alignment done after swapping the transmission bushings over. Want to increase camber and caster in the front. Presumably my car is set to factory alignment specs from whenever the previous owner had the tires installed.
I don't feel any slop and the tie rods/ball joints seem good. Have checked with the car jacked up. I think the steering feel can be diminished by old bushings even if the ball joints are still good. Good to hear that your Z4M is even better than an E90. Mine was an LCI with the M Sport package and no aftermarket upgrades but I was impressed by the steering.
