It's entirely possible that they will just replace the complete steering rack just to be sure it's NOT a mechanical problem instead of only an electronic issue.

It's unlikely that your dealer will have the EPS CU or a new rack and pinion in stock, so the repair time will probably depend more on how long it takes to deliver the parts rather than the time it takes to install them.
I wonder if it’s possible to upgrade to variable assist steering by changing out the module?
I had it on my E83 but didn’t order it on my F25.
