Hi All,
Great forum - I've been an observer for a couple of months but have never posted.
I have recently purchased my E60 and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced a slight bump or knock that can be felt through the steering wheel when turning around round-a-bouts or sharp turns when nearing full lock.
Anyone any ideas what this may be?
Your help is appreciated!

Do you have Active Steering? Mine does this sometimes in parking lots. I can feel it through the steering wheel, but no noise or sounds.

Have the same issue, plus my steering does not feel as responsive and when I engage sports button on my SA tranny it doesn't seem to change the streeting feel and make it harder or more responsive. I have an 08 535i with a sport package.

Yep, I've noticed the same thing with my 04' 545 while in parking lots making full turns. I have Active Steering.

I get a click in the steering at lowish speed manoeuvres; the dealer plans to replace the entire column. Forum searches have suggested it's the column to rack coupling that's at fault.
