Just saw your post. I had a similar issue although mine would click as well. You could hear it in a parking garage rather clearly.
Solution: replace steering rack due to misaligned rack and pinion. Problem solved.

335BBS,
So when they replaced the pump, you said they weren't 'satisfied' meaning it helped a little or not at all? Then they went on to replace the steering rack, and that solved the issue? So does that mean that the hose nor the pump was the culprit, and it was ONLY the steering rack? I think the rack is the most expensive one out of the whole steering component, right? TIA P.S. BMW should have a recall for the steering rack. Because obviously there's at least a handful of people that have this issue, and that's just on the forum alone. I can only imaging how many more people have this issue that aren't on the forum.....sigh.

Hmm... last time I was at the dealer and explained my symptoms (including that of a little side-to-side play on the highway) the SA stated that the symptoms sound like those of a faulty rack... (leading me to believe its pretty common).
I asked them to inspect it and he said they would - and after I got the loaner and drove it I sent the SA an email asking him to make sure to include it on the work-order so they could check it because the loaner E90 steering felt unbelievably better... However when I picked up the car there was nothing about inspecting the steering system on the work-order and when I asked the SA about it he said "oh they said everything is fine"... More and more I've been noticing that when the car has not been used for several hours, for the first few minutes of driving I can feel a strong shaking while turning the wheel (even if turning it back and forth just a matter of 2 inches to each side) - the shaking has nothing to do with the road surface of the vehicle speed - it almost feels like the insides of the tires were off-roading tires... And turning the wheel each way has un-even resistance (notchy feel). It leads me to believe that there is something wrong with the hydraulics of the steering system and it acts up more when the power steering fluid is cold. |

Hm..Mine does this too sometimes, I thought this was just a side effect of the active steering.

2006 330i, same issue exactly, slow speed wandering or tracking, occasional groan/ gunk gunk from right beneath my feet when pulling out from parking. Highway wandering, occasional pulling left or right but tires and ride are smooth as silk any any speed. Sounds like a rack issue from all the comments. Been considering my options up to now. don't have active steering. Appreciated the thread guys. |

Here I am, years later and dollars short...
Our 2008 328i has the shudder in the steering at v low speeds, I just had it this morning when reversing into a parking spot, prompting me to search here. Data points - it's been doing the Exact Same Thing since I can remember, which may or may not be since it was new. I've had zero other issues with the steering system, so if it's a faulty rack or something, it's loading forever. Although it's a '08, we only have ~80k on it... I doubt it's a belt tensioner, I replaced it myself a few yrs ago and it had no effect. Never flushed the fluid, but according to this thread it won't help... My memory isn't great but the above is my experience as best as I can remember it. It's my wife's car so I don't drive it every day. I'm a little less in tune with it. |
