The part number of the lower steering shaft that was installed is NOT the same part # listed on REALOEM.com. My SA said that his parts dept is now stocking this shaft which leads him to believe that this will be an ongoing issue with all vehicles using this particular part. |

I drive a 2014 sDrive X1.
I sometimes get a single knock noise that sounds like it's coming from the front right side of the car when I leave home in the mornings and travel over the first speed hump in my estate. I also get a knock noise sometimes when I get to work and park in our basement parking. I drive straight in and then do a turn to the right at full lock. I then reverse into my bay turning the wheel left (full lock). It's the transition from right to left lock when the single knock noise occurs. Doesn't happen all the time though |

2014 X1 Steering Knock FIXED
*THANK YOU*
I have working with the dealer on this problem for some time, and they have also reported this as 'normal' and that all other X1's do it. I did not back down because I never would have purchased the car if I knew the steering would degrade so much on a 'premium' vehicle. They were actually quite accommodating and although they still maintain there was no problem they replaced the above part under warranty due to this thread. My car is now AS NEW and drives perfectly again.. for now. =) Job performed at BMW Motorwerks in Bloomington, Minnesota, USA. EDIT: 2014 BMW X1 xDrive28i 19,000 miles (AWD 4cyl Turbo). |

My '13 clunks too, might mention it before my warranty runs out in a few thousand miles. If there's an updated part, maybe they'll fix mine. If not, I don't really care. Most if not all steering racks clunk even when new. |

First of all, mine is a 2012 but started its life in 2011. No noise whatsoever. The single noise is at maximum right or left and that is normal. Second of all, don't jump that easy on the lawyer thing, (not that you shouldn't do it if necessary), you vehicle is still in warranty so you should not spend a dime on that car. You should give them a chance to replace and repair. Even with a lawyer, if you did not provided a chance for the proper assessment and repair, is not that easy. Anyway, before you go there, go to the dealership, let them know that you are not happy, it is not normal and you don't feel safe. Keep all the records of your visits in there and always ask for a paper that will state the results or their conclusion. If they are still bullshit you that it is normal, ask for a written paper that will state their conclusion. that will make them think twice before putting it in writing. So they will either fix it properly, either give you a proper written conclusion. After that, you can pursue the legal path if not fixed. Good luck to you. |

Just to add to that you can always escalate to BMW NA and then BMW AG. I know if a case where there was an obvious problem with the steering (suspension related if I'm not mistaken) which caused an issue in the way the car handled. The local dealer couldn't identify it and then refused to fix, after escalating to BMW AG the dealer magically found the needed tool to isolate and fix the problem.
Just make sure you know what you want before you take any surviving action - if you want it fixed, if you want a good deal on a trade in, or if you just want them to take the car back for good money. Knowing what you want will make sure you don't take cover productive steps |

Same problem on a 14' E84 Prod. date 2013-09-06
First, I am new here, first post. I live in Costa Rica.
I just bought t this car 3 days ago with 7600 miles on it. It was a test drive model which the dealer kept for manager's use. it is in really good shape, however I noticed this sound, which they said is normal, its annoying and it happens only at low speeds or when idle. can this be fixed? is this dangerous? is there any bmw word about this? Here are my car specs: Type code VM91 Type X1 X20I (EUR) Dev. series E84 () Line X Body type GEFZG Steering LL Door count 5 Engine N20 Cubical capacity 2.00 Power 135 Transmision ALLR Gearbox AUT Colour MINERALGRAU METALLIC (B39) Upholstery SENSATEC 1/BEIGE (KCB4) Prod. date 2013-09-06 |

Might be the same thing that I got into, no real safety issue just an annoyance.
If it's similar to mine, was just the lower steering rod, the part that actually telescopes when you move the steering wheel. You need to replace or re-grease this: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...y/32306784845/ re-grease will only last a while to get rid of the annoying clunk it's not all the difficult to replace. I re-greased mine when I first picked up my car just to make sure that's what it was. Came back in 7k. I'll replace it someday but it doesn't bother me much. IIRC GM had a long standing problem similar to this in the 00's. Last edited by kiloTHREE; 08-26-2016 at 12:03 PM.. |
