Also, the power tailgate motors failed on my last 2 BMWs before my G05.

I am 100% confident in my statement that BMW uses a shitty motor supplier for these 2.

I believe you are 100%! It’s about BMW have cheaply made suppliers. Did you find a good aftermarket part sir?

I figured it may just need to have the worm gear lubricated, and I was right! It's been 2 weeks with no no issues! I was able to use some electric razor lubricant (although there might be a better option, DO NOT use WD40 though). It's hard to reach the worm gear and associated lever (right side of last photo). I ended up using a cut bendy straw, filled it with the lubricant, then maneuvered it in place and dropped on the worm gear and lever. Problem solved for a few bucks and 10 minutes.

Yesterday my 2020 G05 steering column did not move at all after I start the engine. The lever did not respond either. Just came across this post. Thanks for sharing.

Just curious when you said ' It would only come down a small amount, then stop' did you mean it only came down slightly and completely stop or then it kept extending out just with a wrong angel.

Thanks.
