Happened again today, this time, conveniently, in a hairpin curve.
Maybe I will actualy die before I get old after all, a la Pete Townshend, who never really died before he got old, even though he wished in the early 1960's that he would.
But, then again, Pete Townshend's probably never owned a BMW 545; and, if he would have, he may have died at any point during driving same, after the active steering suddenly malfunctioned.
I can't contemplete anything more unsafe or annoying then your car telling you that your steering is "malfunctioning."
. . . . Except maybe getting rearended in a 1972 Ford Pinto.
