cpd1 is on a distinguished road
Reviving this thread, it seems the early European owners of the E70 think the steering is heavy, heavier than on the E53. Active Steering does include Sevotronic so obviously that would help at low speed. AFS got a load of bad press when it launched on the 5 Series over here. It is now offered on the 1, 3 and 6 too but porb remains a marginal option. I would think it does make sense on a heavier vehicle such as the E70 at very low speed but I am also concerned to have a steering feel that changes as the speed varies...Would love to drive one with one without but here the 1st demo cars won't be around til the end of the month nad it will be unlikely to locate an AFS equipped E70 quickly, that would delay my order a lot to wait for this...Is it worth £910? I am plannign to drive a 5 Seies with it over the w-e and see what I think...
