My Ride: 2004 530i Black On Black Sport/Premium Package
Default

Ok to start off, someway or another my battery drained yesterday so I had to recharge it. I read the manual and it stated that I might need to reset some things on the car after I had recharged and started it. Sure enough when I did the active steering message came on saying that AS is inactive, as stated in the manual in the stationary position I turned my wheel all the way to the left and back to center position, shut the car off and then turned it on again, of course the AS message was still on I have no idea why it wont "activate"
