Sorry about that, I mistakenly quoted the wrong person.

In any case, I understand what you are saying, but I think Active Steering is sort of like IDrive, the more you use it the better it is and the easier it is to sell to someone. Some technologies just work right out of the box and people don't need to "get used to them" to want them...such as automatic windows vs. hand crank windows. If BMW could offer some kind of short term test (yeah I know how this sounds) of cars that have these pretty significant and rather "altering" technologies, then I think they would sell them better. Like I said virtually 99% of the magazines (print and online) reviews/tests/impressions/etc. of the BMW active steereing system were negative and recommended leaving it off the car. Now I doubt BMW would really develop such a bad system that no one would want it (no idrive comments please) so my only conclusion is that these very short term tests are in fact too short. If reviewers had maybe a month (random guess) to spend with the car then maybe they would love it as much as they love air conditioning.
