Smile Squeaky Steering Wheel

New to the community so apologies if this is covered elsewhere - still learning about the forum Just thought fellow new F25 owners might be interested to learn there is a known issue with squeaky steering wheels on the 2015 X3. My dealer said there is a service bulletin from BMW in existence which you can refer to. My 8 week old X3 just had a new bulkhead seal and CV joint fitted. All is quiet now - so I can fully enjoy that 3.0 sound track again !

2015 F25 3.0d in Carbon with Oyster leather and most of the toys.

Thanks for the info. My wheel is pretty squeaky, will have the dealer address at first service.

You're welcome - 2 weeks down the line and my steering still perfectly quiet so looks like this is the solution. Good luck !

I don't know the TSB# sorry, just told by UK dealer it was a known issue for which a service bulletin had been issued. If I can find out I will post.

Were you able to figure out the TSB# ? It seems to be a pretty common issue and my brand new F25 2015 x5 seems to do this quite often when stationary as well.

How loud is the squeak? I hear a low whiny noise in mine thought ito due to non hydraulic steering and only audible on standstill.
