Anyone who has any doubts about BMW denying known repeatable and serious failures doesn't know the history of BMW.
From the HPFP of the 335i to the rod bearing failures of the early E46 M3, BMW corporate's default mode is "blame customer first, ask questions later".
cjg - you have several legitimate questions about how this failure can possibly happen, but there is no need to be inflammatory towards the original poster who has taken a lot of time to keep up updated about the situation and to try to answer questions. Like it or not, we only have one side of the story here and it's a bit disingenuous to try to discredit the only person sharing any information in the whole ordeal. All the talk about the SUA issue are completely off topic and IMO should be removed.
Now about the specifics of how exactly the active steering could fail and what the consequences would be, I'm sure that is information the OP would like to know (and to have fixed on his car) but unfortunately without BMW cooperating with revealing information from the diagnosis we may never know.
