Hi guys,
I am having the same problem.
As you guys know, it is randomly. So my dealer can't reproduce the noise.
BMW Munich seems surprised.
So please:
Everybody who is experiencing this problem, please send me your VIN by email or PM.
I will make a list with all VIN's and give it to BMW, so that they acknowledge this as a problem that needs to be solved from Munich.
Thanks in advance guys.

My steering doesn't squeek exactly but, everytime I turn the steering wheel more than 1 full turn, I hear this click sound which wasn't there before. The dealer seems to think its normal but I don't think so. Is this the same thing? <_<
