Here's a pretty detailed article on it from AutoWeek: http://www.autoweek.com/cat_content...._code=04158216

I haven't read through it enough to see if iDrive is standard or not, here's hoping it's optional. There's also a photo gallery in the article.

Just a random note: This "Active Front Steering" seems very similar to the the S2000 typeV's VGS system although probably with less of the formula-car feel to it.

So the claim that BMW has the world's first system is in fact false--Honda did it first.
