Just wanted to let you all know that my car...a 2019 i3s BEV...is developing this issue.  It's particularly pronounced right now as it's cold and it seems (via the TSB out for this issue) the issue occurs more frequently in colder climates.  It has something to do either with the steering spindle or top mounts not being lubricated sufficiently.


Frankly, this is my 5th i3 and it's happened on 3 of them.  There are some predictable pain points across the board with this car.  This being one of them.


Anyone else notice this?  It's a creaking/groaning sound when turning the steering at low speeds or stationery.


Here are the two possibly related TSBs.
