I never had a chance to drive an e60 with it so I didn't order it but from everything I've read in the past few months I think I would have liked it. 
You going to goto the So Cal Meet in June? If So you can try mine... actually only reason I would is so I can try that nice engine of yours.

My Ride: 535D Sport Auto
No I wouldn't order it again and I didn't order it again. I much prefer the standard setup. At speed the std setup is perfect. I found with my AS the car wandered at speed and the steering felt vague. Maybe its better now on the later models. The M5 I drove didn't have it which tells me something.

Has anyone known or has felt that AS has cut in to "help out"?

1st time I did it on purpose
- just wanted to know how it would feel if it happened "by itself". 2nd time, I was on an on-ramp a little hot and a little off line. There was some sand dropped right on the apex. Needless to say, the back end started to come around. Just as i was thinking that i should pull it back in line the car dialed in countersteer. However, at no time did I feel that the car was driving me. It was more like a kind reminder that some countersteer would help me "keep the shiny side up"!
I'd get A/S again, for the record.

Two thumbs up!!! Makes the car a real delight to drive at low speed. One of my favorite options.

Too bad they took it out of the sport package.
