Hi Steve, thanks for your email. I too had my BMW in at the dealership for four days last week, to be told on pick up that the problem was fixed and all they had to do was re-torque the front suspension. Needless to say I left the dealership and headed off on the 600k trip home to find that infact the noise was still there and somewhat more obvious than before I took it in.
I have heard that it is steering rack related, however I have also been told by people in Australia experiencing the same issue that have had their steering rack replaced, still hasn't fixed the issue. Crossing my fingers for you though. Keep me updated on the results.
Cheers, Matt
