Does your also propagate to the steering wheel? Like a sharper “clank” when going over uneven road or bumps. It would help to know the issue that’s been driving me mad is not an isolated case. I’m new to this forum, and my first bmw. So apologies in advance for any mistakes. Mine is a 2020 330E

I’ve noticed a kinda creaking /flexing noise when steering the wheel but only when the car is stationary and I’m holding the brake down while steering.
I could never reliably recreate it. It would just pop and clunk on hot days when going over slightly uneven roads or sometimes what seemed like flat roads. After the SIB fix was applied (tie rods replaced) I have not noticed the clunk anymore. I do get creaking when cutting the wheel to the extremes while standing still or moving slowly, like parking in tight spaces.

Yes that’s exactly what mine did. When it would clunk I would feel it in the wheel and even slightly in my brake pedal.

How long did you experience it for? I will get it checked out asap but wondering if I’m in any imminent danger by waiting 1-2 weeks. I don’t feel mine in the break pedal so maybe it hasn’t reached that stage yet? My car was manufactured January 2020 so when I check the VIN, no recall shows up.

To my knowledge there’s no danger, nor is there a formal recall. It’s just a service bulletin. I had the issue for over 3 years.

Not sure why these cars come with a warranty, I have had no luck getting my f80 steering issues fixed and now this on my g82. I'm experiencing the same problems as the rest of you(knocking in the steering wheel over slightly unever roads, sometimes flat road causing knocking, etc) since this is a relatively cheap fix to do myself, I'm considering upgrading the tierod ends. Has anyone used the spl tie rod ends and did it fix the issue? Thanks!
