Car would not start!

This is a known problem for e90s my car wouldnt start either...it started out occasionally, and got to the point where it was happening 75% of the time...

They replaced some hardware in my car and it works fine now...luckily it was still under warranty.

Had my steering wheel column replaced 2 weeks ago, they also reset some errors on the ECU. Since then I've had the same problem once again, so Im not sure if it's fixed. If it happens one more time I'm going to take it back to the dealer...

I got my car back yesterday. First they updated the software, but they still heard clicking from the steering column. They then replaced the steering column. So far no problems.. knock on wood

Electronic Steering Wheel Lock Fault

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have the same problem as of 2/3/2011 on a 325i 2006. I spoke to BMW and they state they have "NO RECALLS" unless issued by NHTSA. My suggestion is that everyone that has had this problem file a complaint ASAP under "STEERING" with the NHTSA making sure you have your VIN#. Please file your complaint with the NHTSA: https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/ The more complaints, the more likely this issue would be investigated and BMW would be forced to deal with it.
