Steering wheel telescoping malfunction

Ninefourteener · 11-25-2019, 02:01 PM

Posting for a friend, so I don't know all the details, what update he has, etc.

Getting an appt will take 2+ weeks (which he has), but I'm hoping someone may have already experienced this, and may know of a quick fix.

2019 x5 40i

Wheel still goes up and down, but the telescoping function stopped working completely. Any suggestions?

See dealer, replace the motor.
Happened on every Bmw I had.

Mine had similar, randomly started working again, but the dealer thinks a software update will cure it, despite BMW Assistance stating a new motor would be needed...

Is it possible to turn off the steering wheel movement on exit/entrance??
