My dealer/service department is going to get sick of me pushing to get this fixed. From what I've gathered from BMW Genius folks at BMW North America is that the tie rod assemblies available in regional distribution centers are the same as what's currently on the problem cars, so replacing them with the same assembly will not fix the problem. In my uneducated opinion, the SIB shouldn't even mention that as a step because it's a road block to addressing the problem. I think the only way this gets escalated to BMW is to keep pushing. I may have kicked a hornets nest - a nice lady at BMW Genius suggested I file a report with the NHTSA so as to elevate the SIB to a recall.
I don't think my single report with NHTSA will elevate this problem to a RECALL, but I think if more of us with the issue would do so, it may help push BMW enough to advance the problem.
