My Ride: 2008 Sapphire Black on Black M5 - loaded sans soft close doors
Local dealer has a 2008 on the floor with every option I would want...except active steering. Wouldn't mind jumping up two years, but no way with out active steering - LOVE THIS OPTION.

Just a quick note, I bit the bullet today and committed to a new 550i, pretty much all the options. 
Was not sure whether to go with Active Steering, in the end I did order it. You all split about evenly whether it was something to do or not, and my going-in instinct was "no", but I drove a 535i again with it and didn't object to it. I never did find a 550i locally to try.
Anyway, just wanted to thank you all for helping me figure this out. Now the waiting...

Maybe the active steering posts were split, but AS is the right choice. You'll love it. Congrats.
