Active Steering?

Bringinthewolf · 01-31-2008, 06:37 PM

I just placed my order for my 135i Cabrio. Manual, M Sports Pkg, Premium Pkg, Sparkling Graphite, Black Leather. Projected delivery by the end of April. :thumbup:
I have also ordered the Active Steering option based on a brief test drive in an Active Steering equipped 5 series. Since returning from the dealership I have done some internet research and have found most reviewers less than complimentary of the system. Does anybody out there have any first hand experience with the system in real world driving? It's probably not too late to change my order.

Welcome - we've had a lot of discussion on active steering around here:

We have a lot of prior posts on active steering floating around this site - a comprehemsive search would be useful. Another place to look is the BMW website in their technology section.

Personally I don't want anything to do with Active Steering, but then I think automatic tranmissions and 'electric' starters are a bit much too. ; -)

I'm going to move this to the General Section as well.

I should have searched first before posting (in the wrong area) Rookie moves. Sorry.
