Just thought I would share todays joy.Over the weekend my steering lock failure warning came up on my Idrive. Knowing that my warranty runs out tomorrow
I contacted my dealer - Blue Bell BMW Crewe - who very helpfully got my car in the workshop today.Outcome is that it needs a new steering column - @?1000. The warranty is covering it. WOW how lucky was that?

UPDATE:
New steering lock fitted and all well. I decided to call BMW UK and discuss the many issues I have had with the car since I bought it 12 months ago. In response they have extended the warranty by 12 months free of charge - I can sleep again now!
