So I just picked up my 2011 550i and after driving it a couple of days have noticed a strange grinding noise with steering whell vibration when turning the car at low speeds. I didn't see anything here but on Bimmerfest there's a 6-7 page thread (still growing) with a bunch of people that are having the same problem and can't seem to get it diagnosed. Apparently BMW is aware but have yet to find a fix. Anyone having the same problem? Any solutions?

It's the FZM Module located in the steering wheel used to control airbag, & turn signals, already reported on this, had mine replaced and all has been good since, here is the thread I started. They will need to remove steering wheel to change, make sure they have the part first or you will be without your car for a couple of days
