Active Steering is the most recent BMW development in the innovative steering systems sector.

Active Steering varies the steering gear ratio from direct to indirect and vice versa as a function of the vehicle's speed.

The benefits of Active Steering are:

Direct steering with no more than minimal movements of the steering wheel at the low end of the speed range
More indirect steering at higher speeds in conjunction with enhanced driving stability

Active Steering, including Servotronic, is available as an option (option 217).

Active Steering gives the vehicle an even sportier character.
