Steering column motor shaking/dying?

[Justin428]

I went to look at a 06 g35 today and the steering column on this thing shook like crazy when any adjustments were made. Maybe it's a bad motor in there? Just wondering if this is a common problem?

Also, it did it when I opened the door to get out. The wheel moved up and back and made a terrible noise and shook. And this is a car for sale at a BMW dealership!

Put in the contract that you want it fixed before you buy it! There is an option to make the steering wheel move up and the drivers' seat to move back when you shut off the car.
