Imo, you are missing the trees for the forest: you want to toss the car because
oe warranty expired and/or steering column motor is getting tired?
As for warranty, maybe a dlr would still do OriginalOwnerProtectionPlan,
(equal to a CPO), if you are orig owner. Not free, but worth considering...
or chase an extended warranty realizing in CA, you have fewer options
than many other states. Or, as QwkAg suggested, keep it for a couple
years, drive the sumbitch and keep a rainy day fund.
Not knowing your biz situ, driving a paid for, decent shape, good car is
much less costly than loan or lease payments for a new $70G E70, imo.
As for that sticky wheel column, it is a common problem and BMW replaced
motors under warranty, if one beefed enough. Not sure the steering column tilt
or motor problem is reason to toss the car.
