Hey everyone,
Ever since I bought my used '04 E60 I noticed a weird noise coming from the steering wheel when I turn it. It sounds like a compressor struggling to pull a load...
I also noticed that the steering wheel on my car turns a lot harder (needs a lot more effort) than the '07 E60s I test drove.
Does anyone have any clue on what this could be? Thanks!

I've mentioned (in one of the 12 similar threads) that I have the same problem. The good news is that I have an appointment for service tomorrow morning.

I don't think I have active steering.
Maybe I should change out the power steering fluid?
