I would like to know if active steering makes the wheel easier to turn in the parking lot. Ithink it is too stiff right now. I know it shortens how much you turn the wheel but is it still stiff?

Jumboloan: definitely so. I loved the active steering in the 2012 I test drove. It's like butter compared to my 35i without it.

Agreed. While this doesn't make sense....It makes a HUGE difference on the X5, and a smaller difference on the X6. However, it is almost impossible to find a car to drive with it since it is a priority 1 option and dealers are not allowed to order it for a car that is not for a customer. I finally found a used X6 with AS and drove it and was sold. Not only made the steering easier but much more enjoyable.
Note that AS does not always make the steering easier. I drove a 2006 550 back to back with AS and without AS and could not tell the difference. I do hear it makes a big diff on the 3 series (in terms of ease of turning) and as pointed out, also makes a difference on the X5/X6.
