On your e53...it would be checking the horizontal adjusting transmission thingy (#9) and the shaft/cable (#13) that performs this adjustment...check to see if there's movement etc or something jammed into it (since you say you can hear the tranny/motor making noise):
E38's version of steering column's transmission shafts (#12 & #13)
(inner shaft is removed from the outer sheathing)
(here, you can see the shafts connected at their respective "transmissions"...check to see if the one not working has a broken piece (inside) and is not turning)
