turning the rear wheels in the same direction as the front wheels
Explanation:
"Under 37 mph the system steers the rear wheels in the opposite direction as the front wheels, significantly reducing the turning circle and making for easier maneuvering during tight situations. Above 37 mph the system turns the rear wheels in the same direction as the front wheels allowing the vehicle to seemingly glide through corners and increasing comfort, especially for rear passengers. The system can also help keep the vehicle stable, especially when braking with each wheel on a different type of surface."

rear wheels in an angle of lock


Explanation:
See link. The rear wheels are actually turning in the counter-direction of the front wheels in this technology, contrary to the other suggestion.

And they can of course turn in both directions, just to complete the picture, as mentioned above :-)

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks for the reference to the BMW page, which is very informative. But as Cilian points out the more likely answer from the linguistic viewpoint is "turning in the same direction".
