Good point. BMW purposely tried to keep the IAS subtle but you certainly know something is going on but not as extreme as the new S-Class that actually crabwalks. That might be a bit too extreme and could scare some owners. When extreme IAS is in motion and crabwalks, it feels like the vehicle is sliding on ice. Seamless is the end goal in my mind and BMW nailed it with a vehicle the size of the X7. My X7 turns tighter than my wife’s A4q on our driveway.
