[SIZE=7]My 540i seemed to have tighter more precise

tracking and steering compare to my 545i. Even when the

active steering is turned off, it still seems to be lurking in

the background. Also,the new steering seems slightly

overboosted. Anyone else notice this

Active steering can be temporarily disabled and the car

should exhibit standard BMW steering characteristics...

but I think they numbed it up a bit...

I do not believe that active steering can be turned off. Most likely you are mixing thing's up with the disable DSC button.

DSC will use Active Steering to correct the wheel position when the car gets to its handling limit. When you disable DSC this corrective action will also be disabled but Active Steering remains active!

I couldn't find anything like that in my manual. Are you in the US? What section of the manual is it in?
