BMW I8 steering wheel noise issue help!

Good afternoon guys! I have a 2015 BMW I8 and it’s started making this noises after I pass by a speedbump a little fast. I took it to the BMW service but they didn’t see any impact damage. Any recommendations? Here’s the video https://youtube.com/shorts/wvnS3KabIps

Does your steering wheel 'knock' when you turn it quickly with the car turned off? It goes away as soon as you power on the car?

It has to do with the steering spindle and is a known failure.

Can you please speak more about this?
I believe I am experiencing it.
With the car on and rolling, when I turn, the steering feels like it suddenly changes effort mid turn with a strange plastic "knock" noise.
