This may help.
Ah yes, I was about to link to my post last year regarding this very same question, but see it was already given, thanks.

After nearly 2 years with SAT, I still appreciate it, and would miss it very much. I will state when used and driving in a manner that takes advantage of it, MPG suffers greatly, but hey... .

My opinion = SAT and Active Steering - best and first options to get - not to miss, as they help to make the car what it is.

My Ride: E61 535d carbon black m-kit panoramaroof with beige nasca interior and wood trim. 172m rims. DimSport Race, SB, SAT
Default

I ordered the parts for the SAT and expect to do the conversion next week. I already love the way my 535d drives in DS mode so I'm a little sceptical about what SAT might add to the equation but I like the thought of rev matching and holding the gears longer. I don't have active steering or the dynamic suspension options, but my car is a touring with air-suspension in the rear. I wonder whether SPORT mode will affect steering and suspension on my car or whether that only applies to the aforementioned options?
