Hello, can anyone please watch the video and tell me what's the reason for that rubbing, squeaky noise and if this hissing noise (when i turn the steering wheel a very little - 0:06 to 0:10) is normal?

Car is E90 320D with M47 163hp pre-lci 2006.

Regards.

I have this same problem on my 2010 335 without active steering. Bumping this to hopefully get some more eyes on it.

Video of my steering wheel:

It's very difficult to hear the sound in your video. However, the steering column does squeak where it goes through the firewall. There are several DIYs on YouTube on how to lubricate it.

I would say its not as much a squeak, more like the whirring sound of an electronic motor. Apologies for the noise of my grip on the steering wheel but there’s a very low frequency whir right after I grip the wheel to turn it the opposite direction.
