:
Thanks, but my dealer tells me that it's a known problem on all 528's and they are told by BMW not to work on this problem until they have a solution.

: I also have a '00 528i and have had the steering
: wheel problem since day one. I took it back to
: the dealer and they gave me the look like, " Oh
: here is another 'stupid' BMW owner that doesn't
: know how to read the owners manual or watch the
: video"

: After taking the sevice manager outside to show
: her the problem, she reacted like she really didn't know how the wheel should act, and could
: not confirm if I had a problem or not.....
: What's wrong with BMW dealers, service people,
: and salesmen not knowing what they sell????

: Sorry for the venting, any way thanks to this
: site I was able to find out the problem. It seems
: that '00 528i especially built around Feb. '00
: have a BAD software module to control the steering
: wheel feature. Your car is probably like mine and
: has a #10 or #11 module, the answer is to get your
: dealer to order and install the #12 module.

: I am waiting for mine to arrive, I hope it works.
: I'll post the results.

: Good Luck

: David

: '00 528i Sport
