Creaking Noise When Turning Fully Left/Right

[dreventador]

Mainly when the car is cold, if I turn the steering fully to either side it makes a creaking sound. Almost embarrassing sometimes lol.

What can it be? Planning to send it to BMW, I've had the issue for almost a year now

Anyone experience this? My cousins 535i has the same issue too.

The creaking (also described as a ‘thud’ or ‘popping’) sound when cold is usually due to the tire rubber compound being hard (cold) and skidding across the pavement. It usually is not a mechanical issue and totally normal.

Of course, without hearing it, it’s impossible to know for sure.
