Yep, Active Steering is a variable ratio system especially designed to reduce the number of turns of the steering wheel required when parking, or with slow-speed manoeuvres in tight confined places. It's obviously a different thing than variable assist.

I didn't like it myself when I tried it in a 5 Series but it might be fine when you get used to it.
