I brought my new to me CPO 335i with 28kmiles in for this exact problem 3 days ago (only had the car for 3 weeks). My SA just called me and said the noise and thud in the steering was normal. I said I found it very hard to believe that the POS loaner car you guys gave me has smoother steering than a $50k BMW. They said many people have complained and that in the past they "would replace entire rack and pinion steering systems." but that BMW engineers say thats how the car was designed.
Maybe if this pans out I can go back with it.
