The steering "feel" everyone complains is lost with electric steering will not be helped by AS the way it is by VSS.

So VSS is what the X5 is missing. Oh well, will take AS, forgot it also is a safety feature, got used to the practicallity as well. As I mentioned earlier, even the M servotronic (specific to M50d) is not a winner in the steering area. Am pretty sure they will fix it with the new X5M and possibly improve it with LCI.
