Clicking noise coming from steering wheel
In my car I've noticed that I could hear a light "click" when steering left or right past 90 degrees. Sounds like it's coming from the top of the steering column near the wheel. In the second half of the video I get the microphone close to this area so you can clearly hear it. Is this normal or is something coming loose?

Look between the steering wheel and steering column cover and see if there is a white pin sticking out. If the wheel is straight ahead it should be on the passengers side in the upper right corner. If there is try inserting a credit card or something similar between it and the steering wheel to push the pin down then see if the noise goes away. There was a service bulletin for this but I dont recall if it applies to 2014's or not. I know it applied to the older f30/f25's.

I dont recall if it should make noise only turning one direction. The ones Ive had make the noise irregardless of which direction you turn the wheel. If the noise is not coming from that pin contacting then its something on the column touching the trim surrounding it or its in the szl (clock spring steering switch) itself. Take it to your local dealer and show your advisor it at write up, you shouldnt have that noise when turning left or right.
