I must say that I love the M50d but it does have disadvantages. 40d (new one) is a good compromise, does not compare to E71 (I owned previously). Also if you add more power ( m performance for 30d) then you cannot have tow hitch with higher load capacity.
I have the active steering and I think this extra is a joke. Yeah, it's hydraulic, but so what? The wheel is so dead that you can't feel anything from the road.
