I have the option and enjoy it. As you all know... at lower speeds you do not need to turn the steering wheel as far to make your turns. This comes in real handy doing U-turns. 1.5 turns of the wheel and I am turning on a dime!!

It took a little getting used to at first. I have owned an X5 since 2001 and love the model. I have nothing bad to say about active steering.

Go test drive the new model and see for your self. It is not a "must have" option... just something nice to add if you have the money.

As stated above... I have the E70 with the option. I notice it daily on my normal U-turn. I used to have to do a wide turn almost hitting the far curb. But with this option... I have to watch out that I do not hit the closer curb. It let you make real sharp turns.

I would also notice it while traveling slow and turn the wheel a bit to avoid something. I would be shocked when the Vehicle turned more than I had expected.

I have not done any paralel parking yet.

I have become used to it now and really I like it.
