Clunking noise when turning steering wheel at low speed

Hi All,

So after a trip to Safari Park today I can now hear a clunking coming from the right side of the car when turning at low speed...at normal speeds its absolutely fine and there is no loss in dynamics.

I have a 2016 F30 320d M Sport with 43k miles on.

Any recommendations on what to check?

This is quite a common symptom of a steering rack issue.

I had it on my previous 335d and the rack was replaced under warranty.

I vaguely remember there is also a much more cost effective repair that others have made as well.
