AS tested
Well the steering feel on the new X5 is quite bad. I hoped the steering feel at times criticized by reviews might slightly improve with AS (as none of the cars tested had AS) but was wrong. AS still serves its purpose by supposedly being more safe (as when it sees fit it can also adjust the steering automatically), but the steering is way too light. AS adds to practicality but adds no better feel while entering a turn. It is really bad because just about everything else on the car was great. Steering feel is the reason I bought my first BMW 10+ years ago. Went sailing last weekend, the boat offered more feedback. Car tested had adaptive comfort suspension. I will test drive Msport with Adaptive Air Suspension and NO dynamic package. Hope it improves slightly, but there is little hope as every review was stating what I experienced yesterday.
