2004 BMW 525i Active Steering problem
The Active Steering system uses a Papst
brushless dc motor to rotate the cage (ring gear) containing the planet
gears a planetary gearbox at the bottom of the steering column. The
motor effectively changes the steering ratio by increasing or
decreasing the amount of gearbox output rotation relative to changes in
the steering-wheel angle input. The resulting ratio depends on the
speed of the car. For instance, a low 10:1 ratio gives high
maneuverability for parking in tight spaces, with less than two turns
of the steering wheel, lock to lock. To track straight at highway
speeds, where even a small steering input can produce a quick sideways
acceleration, the electric drive boosts the ratio to 20:1. Cars without
Active Steering typically have ratios halfway between (specifically
14.1:1 for the BMW).
....
Now, if your active steering does not work , the car reverses back to power steering and the ratio is 15.1:1 so the car can be driven but the "active steering " is not working and still needs to be fixed.
It the unit needs to be replaced and your car is not under warranty, the repair cost may reach 5000 dollars.
My 2006 bmw 525i will not start
Shine a flash light into the "eye".
Better yet, test the battery with a voltmeter. Should read about 12.2 to 12.6 volts for good starting. If less then 12.2, have the battery charged and see if it comes up to 12.6. If it comes up to 12.6 and won't start, battery capacity my be diminished and may need to be replaced. Also, check tightness of cables at battery connectors. Loose is not good for starting an engine.
Also if it's a stock BMW battery, I get about 5 yrs of service from them.
