Yep.
Just on full turns on the very end and on very low speeds.

Double posting on two threads but people seem to be reading this one only. My post was:
I have the same problem and my friend who is a master technician at BMW said it just needed a ?15 ($30) bottle of additives added to the steering fluid reservoir.
Not sure if that?s what they have already done but I will be popping in to see him soon to get it added.
It only happens when the engine is hot, this is the case on my 530.

It can happen when the engine is cold too... But this is rare...

I'm told the additive will sort it, but without having it done i can't say for sure!!! Best bet is TELL bmw to do it, don't let them mess you around.

It is not uncommon to have groaning comming from the stearing when you have a car on full lock. I have been experiencing that since my first car. some cars it is more pronounced than others.

True, but when it sounds like you are honking your horn there's something wrong!
Yeah, mine sounded like a truck slamming on its air brake, LOUD!....not a constant, dull noise of a pump straining.
