My Ride: 530i 6 speed
I have a 2007 model with AS and the DTC switch does not disable AS - I am 99.9999% sure.
I just checked my manual and I can't find anything about the AS being turned off and frankly, I can't see BMW let us turn it off.

Nope. It doesn't disable AS. You're misreading the manual. Only one specific feature, the active steering intervention - when the car itself will induce some limited self-steering to help you when you run of talent - is disabled. In all other respects AS is exactly the same, DSC on or off. Which is why you couldn't tell the difference, as AS itself isn't disabled.
Active Steering always enabled, unless it breaks

My Ride: 2008 Sapphire Black on Black M5 - loaded sans soft close doors
As mentioned, I think some tweaks have been made to it over the years. I love it - but also as mentioned, I think you can get used to anything.
