"BMW's unique Active Steering system adjusts the amount of steering angle delivered to the front wheels, depending on vehicle speed. At slower speeds, to enhance manoeuvrability, less steering wheel input is required to change the angle of the front wheels. But at higher speeds, the steering becomes progressively more direct, requiring more steering wheel input to change the front wheel angle, thereby assisting high-speed stability."
thats amazing I need that

Me too! That's a fucking awesome idea! At higher speeds, you can make minor adjustments of the steering...not that the car is THAT fast. lol
