Would be consistent with what I have heard about Active Steering. My dealer told me they haven't sold 1 new car specced with it since it was launched back on the 5 series...The only car they have ever sold with it was a ex launch car 6 series...I left it out of my spec but was tempted by it for low speed manoeuvers but hated the idea of a direction changing feel depending on the speed...
Hope the spring gets warmer soon for you
