BMW Active Steering Explained

A new, flowing driving feeling. More agility and stability in every situation. Rear wheels that help to turn up to a maximum of 2.5° degrees - a small movement with large effects.
In tight bends or when parking a car, Integral Active Steering makes maneuvering easier. Under 30 mph, the front and rear wheels steer in opposing directions to reduce the turning circle and ensure every bend is taken with direct precision.
Above 50 mph the front and rear wheels turn in the same direction to ensure an extremely comfortable and superior response on the road when changing lanes.
With Integral Active Steering, the driver and passengers in the BMW 5 Series Sedan experience a relaxed journey with increased comfort. Fast, flowing changes in direction, sharp bends, simple parking - enjoy steering that actively supports your driving pleasure.

I remember everyone turning up their noses at my 1990 Honda prelude 4ws, yet few could keep up with it on the corners, now they are getting it and as usual trying to make out as though they invented the wheel. kept that car for 25 years.

[@likits1999]

So active steering is exactly the same as 4WS, right?

Nissan did this 30 years ago. Hey BMW! welcome back to the 90's :)))

Honda prelude also

[@stefanberanek4525]

@@Billy.84 Nope. If you are talking about "rear wheel steering" only, even BMW did this in the early 90s (8-series). But since 2008 this is combined with active steering in front with variable gearing between your steering wheel and your tires. Gives a nice small turning circle in the city and still a stable driving at 150mph. Mercedes is king here atm, giving an EQS (sized nearly like a S-Class) below 8m steering circle.

Hey BMW Thanks for being first Car in the world to integrate Rear wheel steering to this perfection, same as being first brand to integrate Xenon Lights, iDrive and Laser lights, and 32 inch rear screen and integrated screens in the rear doors. Thank you BMW for being amazing!
