Does anyone know if active steering is included in the MY06 530i? It wasn't included on my production order from the dealer but after building (playing) on bmwusa.com it said that AS was part of the base model.

I have a 530 on order for a Euro Delivery on May 2nd with Sport Package. According to the dealer, it will NOT have AS as part of the Sport Package (one of the reasons, other than the increased HP, that I waited for the MY 2006). The web site has not been updated....it is stated accurately in the ordering guide.

Is AS no longer available with the Sport Package? In other words, is there a choice? Just when I thought I was done making decisions...

OnOn, you're in the US I take it? I'm wondering what other stuff they neglected to mention... are there other wheels available? A 19" option perhaps?

Hmmm... well my dealer says that my car is 3-4 weeks from final delivery. I'll repost either when I get more info or when my car arrives! :-) I think I have the first MY06 order in this area according to my dealer!

[/quote]Cool. Mine is 152 as of Thursday last week, so we might be getting them close to the same time. What's your status code?

The dealer told me that for 2005 Active Steering was a part of the Sport pkg (at least at the 545 model), in 2006 it'll be an option..
