Dealer has had a look and said everything is fine but I'm not convinced
Sounds very similar to the issues I was experiencing. Skittish handling and a knock from the front-right. Problems fixed with new Steering Rack. Though the steering does still knock when the car is powered off and you rock the wheel left and right.

I'd say you have the same issue... The dealer tried playing the whole 'it's normal' game with me, but they also notified BMW HQ about the problem, and they were directed to replace the Steering Rack almost immediately.
