I know its the steering feel but how would I know if its really there? The salesman told me its there... but I don't know cause I don't want to be cheated of fooled before buying a used e60 525..
Kind of wired question actually...

My Ride: '05 545i - scheduled for ED pickup in Munich on 7/22!
well besides the obvious stuff like asking to see the window sticker, etc....
if it has AS, then you cannot turn the steering wheel a full 360 degrees to either side from dead center

Ok..
So what you are saying is that lock to lock cannot be more than 360 degrees at non motion.. right?

Get the sales chap to punch the VIN and list the option reference from computer.

I'm a little comfused... now...
So if you do a slow test drive and see how much you can turn the wheel
(Stationary too but it's not a good idea) You can turn without moving the position of your hands on the wheel, i.e. not push-pull stuff
