e39 Steering

[azwanb]

I have a question regarding my e39 2001 Steering - whenver i turn fast left or right, especially when stationary it would seem as if the steering column makes a rubbing noise. If I adjust the distance and height of the steering wheel it may lessen the noise or may not have noise at all - but will come back tomorrow or later etc. But when normal driving turning the wheel does not make noise. So the nightmare is usually when parking. The noise seems to come within the cockpit and top portion of the column (I think!). Any ideas? Need sifus help here. I am sure its not just a 5 series issue nor it is specifically BMW. Thanks in advance.
