I'm not sure about that assertion as BMW's only roadster, the Z4, has had electricly boosted steering for nearly a decade. This numb steering almost totally eliminates the road feedback for which BMWs are supposed to be famous. And it's coming on some newer models as well.
As the varied posts to this thread indicate, Active Steering does not really affect the handling. Instead, it greatly changes the interface between driver and steering - what most of us describe as "feel".
Some like it, some don't and it is further complicated by BMW's decision to accompany it with an increase in power steering boost.
