And it sure sounds eerily close to the problem I had with my 2012 X5d on the day I took delivery of it, with a faulty pulley leading the drive belt to hit the power steering fluid hose causing a thumping noise and ultimately failure of that hose and loss of power steering... And it could have been much worse if other parts of the engine were also damaged.
