Hi Adam, and welcome to the forum.

You're going to need to find a BMW specialist shop that has ISTA, BMW's diagnostic computer, and follow through a guided test plan for whatever code you have. "Hardware failure" is insufficient information to diagnose the issue, although certainly, that code would make it sound like you need a new steering rack.

But again, connecting the car to ISTA is step 1.
