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 have just got off the phone to Customer services and asked for them to assist in hurrying things up, awaiting their return call. The engineer seems to think he can just replace the "Module" if that proves the fault. He has clearewd the fault code, but like myself thinks it could just return at any time. My unit is Post september with sport steering mode, build date week 40.

Bad luck with your car
I had the electric steering fail on my passat. Was replaced in a few hours but it took a day to get the parts. Hopefully it'll be the same for you from BMW |

Mine may have to have one yet. I have raised a case with BMW today, if I don't get satisfaction, they keep it.

It does sound like they knew it had a problem. If so and they sent you out it a car with the steering likely to fail then someone should loose their job.

NO TBH I have not asked for it yet, I will today though.
UPDATE: fault code: 4823A1 BMW have advised "Change Control Module" however the Part numbers here can't be found on the system nor can the complete Steering rack Part numbers!!!!!, they say it's TOO NEW!!!! So nothing ordered today.
