Anyone with experience regarding Integral Active Steering?
I'm aware of ARS and DHP, but still a little new to IAS. Does anyone have it on their cars (preferably 550)? How do you like/dislike it? Has anyone compared between a non-IAS and IAS-equipped 5er (or 7er)?
Appreciate the feedback guys. Big thanks as always.

I didn't know what IAS was (let alone that it was offered in our F10's), but Google took me here:
http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=661544 and here: http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=675226 Granted, these are both threads from 2012, but they're asking the same basic questions as you are and as far as I can tell, the technology hasn't changed substantially.

I think I like it.
I just moved from a '12 535i (without) to a '12 550i (with) and it seems neat. Haven't had great opportunity to really push the 550i, but it feels at least as agile as the 535i which I wasn't expecting. Low-speed turning radius is now amazing... seems like the car almost folds in the middle when you're making a tight maneuver. |

When I was researching this, before buying mine (doesn't have AS) I thought it was very neat design, perfect for a car this size. Making it feel more nimble by shortening turning radius. |

I had it on my '12 550i (IAS and DHP), worked great! Biggest plus was turning radius also quick lane changes. I have a '15 M3 now and the turning radius on the 550i was shorter for a car a foot longer. I would say go for it.

Nice good stuff. Do you think it deadened the steering at all in your opinion? Some say the 4-wheel steering is strange at first but I'll get used to it.

Yes, go for it. My 2013 550 didn't have it but my 2014 550 has it. Big difference. IAS makes the car "lighter" on its feet and more agile. It's really needed on a car this size and weight.
