Servotronic power steering in the BMW X1.
The optional Servotronic power steering in the BMW X1 xDrive20d and xDrive23d ensures optimal steering responsiveness in any situation. Servotronic adjusts the amount of steering assistance to suit the current speed, enhancing driver comfort by lowering the effort needed to turn the steering wheel. It provides light-footed responsiveness and agility at higher speeds and effortless agility when parking or in narrow, angular curves.
This is from the BMW web page for other Countrys NOT the UK. |
William, not sure what the difference is between Servotronic and Electrically assisted power steering but I can assure you the latter is standard on UK X1s. It's listed under the standard specs on the UK website.
