Hi

I have a f30 saloon and have been experiencing weird noises when turning the wheel left or right. There is a screeching noise, very subtle but evident behind the steering wheel itself in the column bit. Anyone experience this?

Suggestion, check the rubber grommet at the firewall where the steering column passes through. This can squeak when the grease dries and it's cold/wet.

I've yet to find out the type of grease used here.

However, to check if this is the cause of the nose is simple enough. -
Remove the under dash panel on the driver side
Turn the car on, to allow the wheel to turn
Get a flashlight and stick you head under the dash
Move the wheel left and right
Does the noise from from the grommet?

If yes, apply grease to grommet.

I've had this issue on both of my F3x's
First beemer that had this noise was corrected by the dealer and the service notes mentioned "steering column grease".

Hope this helps.
