I had active steering faults since the car was new (6 mos ago) and it would be very difficult to steer during the error but after a few minutes it would correct itself so I was not going to bring it in for that alone. Also the car was not as sharp feeling as my 545 with AS, and I thought it was because of the changes made to the suspension because of the previous years complaints with the runflats.
I got it fixed, and stuff was broken, and it now feels as sharp as the 545 and is a pleasure to drive.
With all of the errors with my 545, I got desensitized to bringing the car in for every error, but I'm glad I addressed this.

That's good to know. I don't get the waring when it's warm out side, only like I said , when the weather is extremly cold, and has been sitting overnight, or havn't driven it for a while. But once the car warms up , it's liek you sut off the car, adn then restart adn it corrects itself.

You think I should mention somrthing on Wed. when I drop it off @ Habberstad?

Yes. I also got the folding mirror problem fixed (when you retract mirrors and the pass side doesn't come back to same position.)

I had a faulty mirror as well on the passenger side. It stopped dipping. Took it in, had the motor replaced and it's all back to normal. What a pain though. For the amount of money we spend, these cars shouldn't be in the shop that much. Oh well...
