That is correct, sir (as Johnny use to say...).

That's getting confusing since this is only true for the 545i starting with 2006.

I have an 04 which has AS grouped with the sports package.

Active steering is a stand alone option in europe and I believe for some '05 545s in the U.S.

Right right. As I said, this is no longer true in the US as of MY 2006. Only the 545i has AS in the sport package, 525i and 530i do not.

Who knows when the 545i replacement arrives... it may be deleted in that model as well for sports-equipped cars.

Not really up to date with everything, but I thought AS once again became part of the sports package for '06 545s

I thought they were still delivering the 545i as a 2005. I guess seeing these posts from other countries has me confused.

Actually currently all E60's are still MY05. But in the US everything is a little different, and for marketing reasons, the new engines made the current models MY06. But there are no changes on the 545 yet, so the 545 is still a MY05, even in the US.
