You're spot on lol
Took the car in on Tuesday morning to get the problem sorted. They took the next 2 days trying to identify the location of the noise. After waiting for some 'Chassis Ears' they just called me now telling me it's related to the steering rack. Now it get's annoying.
Apparently there's is a notice in their system which highlights the fact that due to moving from a hydraulic-electronic setup, to an electronic only setup, there is more noise which is a trait of the setup and not an 'issue' so to speak; meaning it isn't damaging in any way. A slight ticking might be heard and this is normal.
The dealer has acknowledged that the sound coming from my car is different, if not more pronounced, and has logged a case to BMW. There's also more travel coming from the front-right. It's up to them to decide how to proceed; they send a technician out to decide whether it's a fault, they simply replace my steering rack, or they can reply back saying it's exactly what they say it is and hand me back my car.
