Hi all,
I took delivery of my new car in February 2013. 8 months and 20,000 km later... I have just got my car back from BMW who have replaced the steering box (I still don't know which system I had) and it has cured the problem completely. The steering is now smooth and predictable - a pleasure to drive. It's like a whole different car and what I expected at point of original delivery. Also, it now has a marked difference in steering effort required between Eco, Comfort and Sport. This feels good and right.
The only pity is that it has required so much complaining, pushing, hassle, badgering, hectoring and table thumping to get this belated result. My advice to anyone else who has this problem and your car is still under guarantee - keep pushing. Swapping out the steering box (not the rack or steering column) has definitely fixed it.
