I have the exact same problem. Mine is a 225Xe Auto. Amber engine light has been on for some time, 2x service at the BMW garage said it is sensor problem no concern. 4 weeks ago the steering started shuddering and now sound lime a tractor motor. Took to the same garage and they have quoted >10k. Mileage is just about 100,000, 2018 make. 

I feel cheated by such a big name brand, the garage should have a realistic pricing. The repair is almost the price I paid for the used car. 

Any ideas. Should I move on an sell for scrap.

Welcome to the Forum

Have you talked to BMW UK ? Certainly if the car has gone through 2 services at a BMW Dealer and they didn't fix the issue !! I would also contact Rogue Traders

      Replaced key battery still can't unlock car

      Hi Greydog, Thanks for welcome. The how too's I've found all refer to turning the key. I've given it a try anyway, turn on off (as in position 1 with key) holding unlock then pressing the lock button, no joy. Yet to find anything for push button start tbh. Lee

      Cost of service 420i

      Morning Paul Welcome to the Forum Depends how deep your pockets are !! as your car is still under warranty it may be worth it to protect the service/warranty integrity it also depends what else is covered in the plan ? I just carried out a service (December) for a friend of my wife on a 420i 2018 Coupe, Cabin Filter Oil and Air Filter (all Bosch) plus 6 litres of Castrol Edge 5-30 oil cost £115 As I have ISTA/INPA I also ran a full diagnostic check and made sure tyres, brakes etc were in good order. Time wise it took a morning with plenty of Coffee and biscuits I am not a Garage just a home mechanic who enjoys working on our own cars. She brought me a rather nice bootle of whiskey as a thankyou Dave

      Check parking brake is ON warning

      Morning William Welcome to the Forum BMW Main Dealers for many years have not "Repaired" anything they replace complete units then retain the failed part denying in many cases the aftermarket repairers any access to find a fix. By the way BMW are not alone there are many other Manufacturers operate in the same way. Try ringing a BMW parts dept and asking how much the unit is? Or use www.realoem.com for the Gearshift unit part number then Google for a price. The repair video's will give an idea of time to help guess at calculating workshop hours most Main Dealers are now in exceess of £200 p/hr Me personally if there are video's available I would have a go at replacing the spring if you can get one? If not either a second hand or complete unit swap Dave

      Replaced key battery still can't unlock car

      Morning Lee Welcome to the Forum If the car is starting on the key just not recognising the key for lock/unlock actions or are you using the App to start the car? If the battery has been dead for some time then your car may be seeing it as a "New" key which will need syncing or re-syncing. There are several "how too's" on the Internet have you tried syncing yet? Dave
