Mini cooper SE 2023 Steering

Hello everyone. I'm driving a mini Cooper se 2023. Totally obsessed with it since day one. Recently I experienced an issue with the steering wheel feedback. Sometimes while turning I get slight vibrations. Always while the car is completely stopped. If the car is moving the vibrations are really really small.

Did anybody experience something similar?

Maybe?

I occasionally feel a single, small "knock" when turning the wheel at low speeds. Tech looked it over, didn't find anything, and suggested that resetting the adjustable wheel position (even if to the same place) might solve the problem. I wouldn't say that that permanently cured the issue, but it did make it go a way for a while/improve it.

(Note that, as you would expect, this is apparently an F56 issue, EV or ICE version.)

Hi, 2020 SE owner here and never experienced something similar. You of course get some torque steering if you floor the car, but that's different from what you are talking about.

Maybe the heatpump?

there's subtle vibrations for the lane assist, but it sounds different than what you're talking about

I have a 2023 ICE version. I have similar feeling. Talked to the dealership today as I was getting a date for my 25000km. Check up. They said it could be a minor issue(nothing to worry about), but I will know on februar 26th
