Do a search here on steering rack. For years the bolts holding the motor to the rack have been failing, to the point that BMW finally had to issue a service bulletin and extended warranty. There have been many threads on the subject. For example:

Hard to imagine you haven't seen one.

It's very well documented that if the motor fails it cannot be replaced, the entire rack must be replaced, and it must be coded to the car VIN by the dealer or it won't work.
