You guys are awesome, thanks for all the replies.

I'm going to the garage on Monday. I'll report back in on whether or not I have to replace the clock spring.

You do. Your airbag light went on as you overturned the wheel. The wires inside your steering wheel were snapped from overturning.

Understood. I'm just uncertain about whether the garage replaced it or not. They are Brooklynites but also foreigners and talk really fast!

I doubt they did, as it's a $400 OEM part . $100 used.

BimmerJeeper you are 100% right. Just got her back from the garage, the mechanic didn't even check to see if it was damaged or not. I won't be going to these guys again.

Big David, I'm sending you a PM!
