yeah active steering is very noticable in low speed turning - you don't need to turn the steering wheel all the way around when you drive around a city block or when you park.

harder to notice at high speed on the highway, except you don't get as much feedback as older bmws.

Here you go Anthony. This is a pic of my car with the 20 way comfort seats. the best way to tell who has them and who doesn't is the headrests.

I don't care for active steering, so no loss there in my mind, however, the comfort seats is another issue. If they weren't such a big factor in your comfort level while driving I'd say screw it, but they are. Reorder the car with these seats and have the dealer knock off some more money for screwin up. Did you go to Hassel? I almost went there, but went with Rally instead. They were much cheaper since they do 10x more volume than Hassel.

Rallye probably has more inventory as an FYI, so your choices there are probably better for the options/colors you want. I was just at Rallye this morning to have my car serviced for that damn coolant light. Thank god it's gone. As for their new showroom, it's sick. The place is HUGE!
