Genuine BMW 32-43-6-772-742 Active Steering Control Module OEM

The Genuine BMW 32-43-6-772-742 Active Steering Control Module (also known as the AL module) is the OEM electronic control unit for BMW's optional Active Steering system (option code S217A). This direct-replacement module restores full functionality to the Active Steering system when the original unit has failed or developed a fault.

Unlike a conventional power steering component, this module dynamically adjusts the steering ratio based on vehicle speed and real-time driving conditions. At low speeds and during parking maneuvers, it tightens the steering ratio for a quicker, more responsive feel with fewer turns lock-to-lock. At highway speeds, it relaxes the ratio for enhanced stability and a more confident, composed driving character. The module communicates directly with the steering angle sensor, the electric actuator on the steering rack, and the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system to deliver seamless, speed-proportional steering at all times.
