Thanks so much! Purchased an E66 yesterday and steering wheel was stuck at top and fixed it this afternoon with your help. Mine was really stuck and I gave up but my mate persevered and finally got it moving. Thanks so much. PS - if you remove panel from top between wheel shroud and instruments and stick your head in between steering wheel and windscreen by leaning in from outside you can get a great view of what is going on. Bit claustrophic but helps a lot and you can get at it from below by only removing the bottom bit of steering column shroud.

I sprayed a little Marvel Mystery Lubricant around that mechanism and kept checking the tilt function, two days later working like a charm. Thanks for the info.

thanks I have 2 2002 745li's with the same problem and this fixed both of them instantly... man thanks a million... I ask the stealership her what would it cost and they told me $149 just to tell me what the problem was... and the repair would be upwards of $1600 to repair... you really saved me because I had just gave up on getting it fixed... thanks again

You are a demi-god! Years of living with it in the stuck up position finally fixed! Needs a few good strong hits and it went "pop" when you hit the down button. Lubed the *hit out it. Kudos....

Thanks - that fixed it - took apart the plastic covering over the steering column and got in there and turned the worm gear with an adjustable wrench and VOILA! it worked!! Guess it was dirty and needed to be broken loose. Thanks!

I have a BMW 730d SE 2005 and had the same problem where the worm was fused to the washer by the brittle grease which enables the "up and down" motion. I looked at all the videos on how to fix by using a screwdriver and hammer, then had a brainwave. I set my soldering iron against the washer for several minutes which heated up the grease and "Heh presto" it worked first time. Hope this helps!

Man I love KZbin! Got a 13 yr old 750Li for $5k with only 54k miles!!! Going to be worth 7k+ by the time i fix all the lil 10-$20 problems. There's a video for everything! Steering wheel, power thigh supports, hood props, exhaust smoke (pcv valves), passenger logic 7 sub, diy oil change & 15k mile dash/system reset. Only thing that costs more than $20 & isn't quick & easy, is the salve cover gaskets. Leaking about 2 drops of oil a week (big whoop)

Well I had this problem and the washer was extremely stuck. I first sprayed it with WD40 and left it for awhile and then took it to the screwdriver and hammer and banged on the side tab on the washer really hard (not directly at the front of the washer but rather the side) until it started turning and broke loose. And now it works as good as ever woohoo 😀

Don't do anything with the plastic. It will break and you don't want that. Do it from underneath if possible. Wedge a screwdriver against the indent on the (metal) washer. Hit the screwdriver with a good hammer. If you can rotate the washer, you will release the mechanism and you'll have your job done! Just don't mess with the plastic parts and please be clinical.
