I hope mine is heavier after the next update. It's too light.

Thanks for the replyes.

The problem was solved free of charge at the dealer.
The car had to be connected to a terminal to solve the calibration issue.
I have the same steering problem with my car. My other invoice also said Steering Anglre Sensor Reset. I thought the problem came about after it went into the shop. My dealer said i need an alignment, but i never hit a curb and the car doesnt pull at all. Can you tell me what your dealer did? They want to charge me for an alignment

Hi today I had an upgrade to V13.3 and it seems to me that at low speeds turning the streering wheel is heavier. I have Active Front Steering. Anybody else did notice this after a sw upgrade?

I have the same situation. Although I don't think I got a s/w upgrade, but the steering is very stiff and heavy turning at low speeds. Will have to have dealer take a look. I mentioned this before to the dealer and they said that's because of the active steering. It give you more feedback.

That is the biggest load of BS I've heard. Do not walk, but run to somebody else. Active steering (I have it on my 535i) has the same feel throughout the speed range. At low speeds smaller movement of the steering wheel moves the tires greater while at speed above 45mph the movement of the steering wheel moves the tires very little. The idea is to make turning at parking lot speeds very easy with less than half of a turn on the steering wheel to make a 90 degree turn.
