"Mine was completely solved. It can happen. I had it as bad as that video.
1. Software update
2. Rotate springs (not struts, there are no struts).
3. Replace upper steering column.
1. ’Straight through conversion’ software update
2. Rotate struts + alignment
3. Replace power steering rack + alignment "
"Turns out that this problem is well known to BMWNA. There are three fixes.
1. EPS software patch. This supposedly adjusts the way the EPS responds to the forces from road crown.
2. Spring rotation. This affects how the car responds to crown and bump steer.
3. Steering column. Rumored to have a batch manufactured that was not within BMW's tolerances. Supposedly it has something to do with the torque characteristics of the column and it's resistance to being pulled by bumps and road crown. New part was installed as of August or September 2010 production. "
