So I've been having this problem with my power steering. When the car is parked or moving very slowly, there is a loud popping noise as the wheel turns. I'm going to post the link to the video I recorded of the noise.

The car is an e92 335i. Hopefully someone on here could guide me in the right direction to getting rid of this annoying and embarrassing noise. Thanks for any help in advance

Sounds like your pump is bad to me.

That rattle when you hit full lock is when the pump experiences the most load.

I just posted a thread on this. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1178301

I'd make sure it's not a weird rattle of something working itself loose, but I think you're most likely in need of a new pump.

Bad power steering pump, dealer charges an arm and a leg to replace. Good luck

Luckily I have an aftermarket warranty with a $300 deductible that will cover it

I was hoping that maybe I was low on ps fluid or something. Maybe I'll check that before taking it to the dealer

Fluid level is always the first thing to check.
