I've had the same "clicking" in my 09/10 build 2011 328xiT with 60k. As said, you can feel it at idle with your hands at 9 and 3 moving the wheel slightly in each direction, can also feel it at speed.

When I brought my car to BMW of Fairfax on Monday, the tech looked at it, compared it to another E90 in service, and said it's normal since they both did it! I told the advisor to fix the other E90 too, it's not normal and is likely the lower steering joint assembly. The SA put the shop foreman on my car, and lo and behold my lower steering joint assembly needs replacing. CPO covered with a $50 deductible.

I don't know if it's because I did 250 miles in the F30 Luxury but the E90 is a revelation and much more fun to drive. The steering is quite stiff, moreso than I remember, but it could be due to the lazy F30. The click is GONE.
