shame on BMW for having issues like that and they did not recall and replave the defective locks under warranty |

Its the electric steering lock not engaging properly, its a well known fault so push for warranty or goodwill. Need to get it sorted asap as if lock breaks in the on position it will be a nightmare. Sometimes they replace parts or sometimes its just a reprogramming issue.

You should get free parts as it is a known fault. Tell them so.
I had to pay the labour at £140 or so. Same for the brake DSC failure parts. |

I had a similar experience although the warning light was amber. Dealer replaced steering column under warranty. Problem sorted.
