Others with this feature have extolled its virtues but I honestly can't tell I have it, hence wondering if it is working correctly. Which is why I tested it.

My last car had "passive" rear-wheel steering. It consisted of a collapsible bushing on the rear toe link. Removing the link made the otherwise secure rear wheel move about 1/2" in each direction. As it's passive there was no way to observe the wheel move, but it sure could be felt.
I don't konw how BMW does it, but if it's passive it may be the same type of system. I don't have it and haven't looked under at the rear suspension.
Just a thought, FWIW.
