Hi All
Sorry if this has been covered before, but, my probelm is this...
I have a 2.5i Z4 registered Dec 2006, which has been, almost, faultless in the six years I have owned it - until now! It has developed 'sticky steering syndrome' over the last few weeks - intermitently notchy and not pleasant to drive. I was under the impression that the problem was solved for 2006 cars and later, but that's obviously not the case.
I've seen posts suggesting drilling and lubricating the column, but I would prefer to replace it. Being an OAP, I really can't run to main dealer prices, and will probably have to do the work myself. I have been offered a 2008 Z4 column (BMW Nr. 32306786151AI01), and I wonder if anyone can confirm if this can be used as a replacement?
Cheers
Scorp.
