My steering wheeling up and down adjustment stopped working for me. The Steering wheel heater and other steering wheel controls work just fine.
Any ideas??
Hope all is well. I know...I havent been on for a WHILE now.

Hey what's up big man! obvious as this maybe the motor that controls the motion is shot. Let me look more into details for you once I get home.

My Ride: My 1st was an '06 530xi, Titanium Silver w/ gray dakota leather, sport pkg. & Nav.
Now my 2nd is an '08 650i CP, Space Gray, Blk Dakota, Sprt. Auto, HUD, Sprt. Pkg., Prem. Sound, High Beam Ast. & Comfort Access
Mine stopped going all the way up, so one day I pushed the control button up and put moderate pressure on the steering wheel, lifting the wheel up. The steering wheel moved to the top position. I did this several times, turning the car off and on. Finally it began going up on its own but it still stops about 1 inch from the absolute top of its travel range.
It is in the shop now and the SA advised that they may have to replace the motor, which is over $1K.
They gave me a X6 loaner and not only does the steering wheel move up, it telescopes back, close to the dash to make it even easier to get in and out. I wish my 650 did that.
I will update you when I get it back.
