well as you may have seen, bmw's are available with active roll stabilization (ARL).
i never knew that the system actually leans the car. i thought it just locked the stabilizer bar.
it's a neat system.
what i thought was a steering noise that i have, turns out to be the ARL.
the ARL runs off the power steering pump. the noise i had occured only when i was in motion, and turning. the noise comes from the passenger side floor, since the control for the ARL is right underneath there.
even though the noise is very slight, i want to figure out how to fix it. i am going to flush the system and add some lubrizol, which some others have done before.
anyone else have any experience with the ARL system?

I'm on the verge of buying a car which has dynamic drive (Active Roll Stabilisation) so I will be able to let you know in a week or two time. However, I never heard it on the test drive or previous vehicles that I've test driven which also had dynamic drive.
