Put it another way. If you drove a new car for the first time and it had active steering, you wouldn't notice anything special. I have a 5 series with active steering and a 3 series without and moving between the two, there's no obvious difference. When i ordered my x5, i didn't even consider it. Waste of money in my opinion. Spend the cash on the wheels or stereo or something else.

One man's opinion only.
