My Ride: Silver 530i Sports and Premum Package with Navigation. 06/04 build date.
The active steering warning light came on my 530i this morning and the steering seems kind of stiff. Anyone else have this problem? I guess I need to take it into the dealer.

Did the message read "Active Steering Failure" or "Steering Fault! Loss of Fluid..." ?

The one time that I got the Active Steering Failure message a quick restart solved it and all has been well for the last month or so.
The one time that I got the Steering Fault message I ended up with a loaner for 8 days and a new steering rack.
I hope yours is the 1st and not the latter.

I didn't actually get a message just the steering wheel symbol with an exclamation point after it.
I'm sure that when I drive my car at lunch the problem will have gone away - right.
