SOURCE: 2004 BMW 525i Active Steering problem
The Active Steering system uses a Papst
brushless dc motor to rotate the cage (ring gear) containing the planet
gears a planetary gearbox at the bottom of the steering column. The
motor effectively changes the steering ratio by increasing or
decreasing the amount of gearbox output rotation relative to changes in
the steering-wheel angle input. The resulting ratio depends on the
speed of the car. For instance, a low 10:1 ratio gives high
maneuverability for parking in tight spaces, with less than two turns
of the steering wheel, lock to lock. To track straight at highway
speeds, where even a small steering input can produce a quick sideways
acceleration, the electric drive boosts the ratio to 20:1. Cars without
Active Steering typically have ratios halfway between (specifically
14.1:1 for the BMW).
....
Now, if your active steering does not work , the car reverses back to power steering and the ratio is 15.1:1 so the car can be driven but the "active steering " is not working and still needs to be fixed.
It the unit needs to be replaced and your car is not under warranty, the repair cost may reach 5000 dollars.

Should be under the car, drivers side, just in front of rear wheel. Make sure and release the fuel pressure slowly when you take the lines loose.
SOURCE: How do I remove inner door panel on 1995 BMW 525i
This shows the front door removal. Rear is similar.

Basically you remove anything held by screws like the arm rest and inner door handles and then go around the edge of the door panel and pop it off the door. There are little plastic clips that snap the panel to the door. Some of these might break, but they are cheap and you don't need ALL of them. Go slowly and use a tool like a plastic putty knife if needed.

The location of the battery in the BMW 525i series is under the back seat on the passengers side. To access the battery, grab under the front portion of the back seat and pull upward with some force. There are two slips into which the seat is secured. One on the passenger side and one on the drivers side, again in the front of the back seat. There is not one in the center.
SOURCE: oil change reset for bmw 525i
You only need to hold the left odometer reset button while turning the key to position 1 (Accessory). Keep holding the button for 5 or so seconds until any of the following shows in the display: OIL SERVICE or INSPECTION with RESET or RE. Release the button and press it again for another 5 or so seconds until RESET or RE flash. While the display flashes, press the button one more time briefly. If done correctly, END SIA should show up for a few seconds. All done.
