what is the verdict on active steering? i read so much negative feedback about it. it is not an option on my new 530xit (it doesnt work with the x-drive), but i dont think i would have gotten it anyway. the standard steering is so nice on bimmers and i have heard that the active steering is "twitchy" any thoughts?  |

It seems that active steering has had some software changes to it and it now works great IMO and I see the same opinion in car magazines lately as well. No twitchiness, no mid turn ratio changes...just excellent steering with easy slow speed maneuverability.

I've never understood the complaints. I have a 09/04 2005 545 and the active steering is great. I hate driving a car without it. There is no twitchiness, no erratic behavior. It's very predictable and makes the car easier to drive well.

Try to take a test drive in one, judge for yourself. I took a test drive in one of the first cars to arrive in the US and whilst it was on the highway and on the streets around the dealership, I thought it worked great.

I have an '05 545i with the sport package (which included AS) and I love it. As others said, it seems there were some teething pains in early releases.

i did test drive it back-to-back against normal steering. i "got it" but didnt think that the normal steering was bad. in any case, i have to live without it as well as smg, anti-roll stabilization since they dont work with x-drive. its ok, i wanted the touring more than i wanted the sedan and hence those options.....
