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...
