The steering binds at almost any speed. I noticed it when driving straight forward. When a correction in direction is made the wheel binds until greater pressure is applied. It seems the problem is requiring even more pressure for the correction. I called bmwna and they told me they have heard nothing about this problem. I am in fear for my safety as well as others around bmw's z-4 2004.

Water gets into the battery compartment through the rubber grommet that carries the main battery cable from the trunk to the front of the car. The battery compartment is a well that also houses the car stereo amplifier. Amplifier was sitting in about 2 inches of water causing the circuit board to short out and catch on fire.
