My Ride: 2011 F10 535i -Brilliant Graphite/Oyster 2006 E5004matic- I must have been on drugs when I got this car 2004 545i Black Sapphire/Truffle Brown interior

Does anyone hear a strange noise when turning steering wheel? I know the F10 has a new electronic steering, but on many occassions I hear a noise when turning the wheel between the 9 and 3 o'clock position. Kind of sounds like a loose cable , or like marbles rattling around, just want to know if this is normal with new steering or not?

Thanks

I have no problems. Did have a noise in steering column in my E60. So far, both F10 and X5 are extremely quite.

Finally had time to bring my car into the dealer, turns out it is a faulty FZM module which control airbags, turn signals and steering wheel, part ordered, in the meantime they are taking apart the steering wheel, should be back on the road by tomorrow.
