| | | turn | Explanation:
"Integral Active Steering controlling the steering angle both front and rear.
As a further development of Active Steering, Integral Active Steering is now making its world debut in the new BMW 7-Series. For the first time this option varies the steering angle via an additional transmission on the front- wheel Active Steering and, for the first time, the steering angle on the rear wheels through a concentrically positioned motor with spindle drive on the rear axle, in a highly sophisticated function provided by Servotronic in accordance with current driving conditions.
The maximum steering angle of the rear wheels is 3 degrees. At low speeds the rear wheels are turned against the steering angle of the front wheels to give the BMW 7-Series significantly greater agility on the road. At higher speeds the Integral Active Steering gives the car an absolutely outstanding level of motoring comfort and supremacy on the road in changing lanes and in bends, with the rear wheels turning in the same direction as the front wheels</B>. Even in abrupt steering manoeuvres, therefore, the BMW 7-Series follows the driver's commands precisely and with absolute superiority, any change in direction under dynamic driving conditions leading to an increase in lateral acceleration hardly having any influence on the car's yaw rate."

| Grading comment I would like to thank both contributors for helping me arrive at the final translation:
The front wheels determine the driving direction; the maximum steering angle of the rear wheels is 3°, with these turning in the same direction as the front wheels.
I would therefore also agree that steer could in many instances be just as correct a translation as turn.
