Active Steering

Am about to order an X5 and am quite dissapointed at the steering comments. Perhaps with option active steering it will be somewhat better (still artificial, but better than the normal one). Having read all the reviews even the M50d has poor steering feel (M50d is the only one that comes with M-servotronic, or smthg like that). Cars equipped with dynamic package also have poor reviews on the steering feel. It is a shame, I will still order it and am no hater, but it is a shame that after the whole F10 story BMW stilll did not fix this from the beginning. So, to conclude, if anyone out there has test driven one or has a review of one with active steering option (not an option on 50d), please post. Am configuring the car quite soon and need to know. Will not jump ship to RRS because it is not as good quality/reliability/infotainment system is crap or Porsche Cayenne because its maintenance and options are too expensive (or are they? ).
