I currently have a service loaner that is a 550 sport. A couple of options to comment on. It has the comfort access - very cool option - maybe not $1,000 cool - but very cool. It also does NOT have active steering. Maybe because I have been driving with active stering for 18 months - but I almost feel unsafe without it. I would urge anyone thinking about active steering to drive cars with and without it for an extended time. On straight roads, curvey roads, and in parking lots. Wonderful option. Hope everyone is well!

I agree, I drove my friends 545 without AS and it felt very strange, much less "sporty"

I couldn't agree more with your comment about Active Steering. I have it on my 550i and I drove a loaner 530i without it for about 4 hours and couldn't believe the difference. For me, I was actually uncomfortable driving without it. I'm sure that after awhile I would have gotten used to the standard system, but I really missed the Active Steering for the few hours I didn't have it.
