I never noticed it before. It is good to know. Then I don't know why it feels looser after getting CIP 19.02. It was always tight before.

What you are describing is a change to the speed-based variable assist power steering. Sorry, I thought you were talking about Active Steering.

I upgraded my car to 19.01 last Thursday. My lawyer screen goes away after 5-15 seconds also. I don't have NAV either.

I got CP 19.01 and my lawer screen does not go away I do have Nav. I think the Lawer is only there because of Nav.
BTW 2 days after my update my screen went dead. The iDrive (Voice command etc)still works I just cant see what the heck I am doing. The only good thing about this is that I am forced to learn all the Voice commands.. I have 2006 525i

My Ride: 2010 E63 AMG -- Palladium Silver/Black. Love this car but looking to switch things up to keep things fresh. 2nd AMG in a row, but toying with coming back into the BMW fold!

[quote name='mcorliss' date='Nov 2 2005, 03:55 PM']I really love the car, but I am getting frustrated, and am starting to wonder what it would be like to actually own a Lexus (Japanese Car) after owning 4 Porsches, 3 Mercedes, 2 Audis, and 1 VW.? Starting to question German Quality (Mercedes aside, because they are already a total piece of crap!).

Don't go there. I've spent the last three years in a GS430 and can't wait to get back to BMW (although with these issues I'm reading, I'm not so sure). I can attest that while the GS should be more reliable, it can not put a grin on your face like a 5-series can.

I 100% agree. BTW...Just car back after two days in garage and it seems to be fixed (band-aid until next software update in mid-December.
