Angry Dsc issue?

Hi everyone! I have a problem that is pissing me off! I have searched this here and other sites and it has been inconclusive.
I have '06 530i and it runs great but lately every time I turn the steering wheel left or right this thing pops up (see photo) it will disappear when I turn off the engine but come back when driving again and I turn the wheel.
Any help, ideas, suggestions, will be appreciated.

do your indicators self cancel after making a turn? If not it's the steering wheel angle sensor

Search for a DIY on this. You will be messing with the steering wheel which has an air bag. Follow all the proper precautions.

I've had this problem for so long. Sometimes it appears but it usually disappears.
