I have been experiencing the above normally after the car has been parked overnight - manual indicates that this means Steering Lock Jammed and suggest that you remove the key fob then reinsert whilst rocking the steering wheel. I have read that there is a known fault with 1 and 3 series locks and if normal diagnostics don't resolve this then there is a BMW technical bulletin and if the column needs replacing then it is likely that this may be done under warranty even if the vehicle is out of manufacturer's warranty.
Has anyone experienced this problem?
