It's a BMW lol. NEVER take it to a stealership once it's out of warranty. Find a good indy mechanic or DIY. Buy OE parts from FCPEURO, autohauzaz, or similar for a lot less. Also, the key to BMWs is maintenance, maintenance, maintenance... more often/sooner than "recommended " is always better. If you haven't flushed your PS and brake fluid biannualy, bad on you. Transmission should be serviced at 40k-50k miles, not 100k or "lifetime". If you need a new rack and pinion, check with auto dismantlers.
