My Ride: 07 BMW 525i Premium Package, Xenon Lighting Package, manual Transmission. Titanium Grey, 20% Tint around the back, 70% V-Kool on front.
Planned mods: Style 71 wheels with Toyo Proxy 4 tires, Sachs suspension upgrade, upgraded stereo, and many more to come.
Recently I noticed a squeeking sound from the steering wheel, only happens when I turn. seems more pronounce at low speed but not sure if it's because it's harder to hear if i drive faster.
any ideas? just want to get some comments before calling dealer...
hope dealer won't blame my lowered car/low profile wheel causing steering problem. oh, and i change the steering wheel sensor about half a year ago...

Definitely seems to happen only at slow speeds, and I am thinking it is something to do with the variable power assistance (servotronic) on my car.
