Consumer Description

AFTER DRIVING MY Z4 ON A HOT AFTERNOON I NOTICE THE STEERING FEELING VERY NOTCHY. YOU HAD TO PUT IN A LOT OF FORCE TO GET THE WHEEL BACK TO WHERE YOU WANTED IT. THE NEXT MORNING IT WAS FINE. BUT I HAVE NOTICE ANY TIME THE CABIN TEMP GETS ABOVE 88 THE PROBLEM COMES BACK. IT PRODUCES A REAL JERKY FEELING IN THE WHEEL AND ITS VERY UNNERVING TO DRIVE. *TR
