The fix is either a software update at the dealers which may sort it. Failing that you will need a new steering column which will cost around £800-1000
^^^ What he said.
If you are covered under warranty or can go under goodwill gesture umbrella (low mileage and full BMW service), then worth of trying at dealers.

However if you do not have such options, you should ask local indi to try updating software of it first.

Any good indi should sort it out. Also look under 'Coders in UK' thread as one guy on there can update relative modules.
