I like the idea, but not the fact that it adds another filter between me and the road. But that should be fixed in the F10 I've read.

I have a 545i w/ Active Steering and I LOVE IT! I drive other car's w/o it and it's a BIG difference.

True, I get out of my car and drive my wife's current model VW Golf and it feels like a truck in comparison. You have to turn the wheel so much further to negotiate roundabouts and normal around town driving compared to the AS E60. Once on the open road I wouldn't mind a bit more weight to it though.
My experience is the same with Mrs. sixcard's 06 325i.

I would not be without AS and would recommend it.

Yup. They took a management decision - Kein Filter, und schnell!

I have servotronic which makes it softer to turn in low speed and gets firmer in high speed, but I love AS and it will be on my list of options in my next car.....
