I've got it on my 530d and its great, my business partner also has a 530d but no active steering and the difference is amazing

Active steering and dynamic drive are a must have

My Ride: 2005 BMW 330i Orient Blue exterior Beigh leather interior with Wood trim, Premium package, Steptronic auto, Xenon headlights.

Active Steering was standard with my 05 530i since I ordered the sport package. When ordering back in December of 2004 if it was a stand alone option like it is now for 2006 models I would have not gotten it. However, I sure am glad that it came with it. Active steering as AWESOME! I find it so totally precise and such a great assistance to driving everyday here in Orlando Florida espically when trying to avoid potholes on I-4 and the East-West express way. plus at high speeds it makes driving so comfortable. to me its a no brainer. My next BMW will also have active steering for sure.

2005 530i Black Saphirre,Beigh leather,poplar wood trim,Steptronic automatic,Premium package,Sport package, adaptive Bi-Xenon's,H/k Logic 7.
Currently 5800 Miles.
