Also, calling BMW USA is helpful. If it's a common problem that's been determined to be an issue on an entire line, they'll assist with repair or get the dealer to offer cousin pricing on the job.

What was your column doing? I bought my rig with 27K miles and it already had the column replaced so I never really understood what the issue was..
I've had mine replaced twice already. It most likely will fail again unless I do the fix. So in the mean time, I just coded the auto adjustment off to buy more time.
Hey V, have you noticed the old E70 had more steering column adjustment range than the F85 does? Here's a link: Fixed the noise on the steering column.
The E70 was a pure BMW, last of its kind. The F85 is perfection, but you can change the ambient lighting.




Ok so imagine if you had an F85 package (performance, trans, suspension) in a more simplified platform. That would be an exquisite car.
Agreed 100%
