Steering system makes a hell of a sound

Hi guys.

My 2019 M50d has started to make a squeal and a grinding noise when I turn the steering. It happened a few months ago but I booked it in and the day they drove it it didn't make a sound. Obviously.

It was also fine for me for the following few weeks.

Now that the car has been stationary for a few weeks, I took it to the shop the other day and it was really bad. Do any of you know what this might be and could advise me what to tell the tech to look for rather than a "noise".

Anyone experienced the same thing?

Yep, I've had the same thing, but wouldn't describe it as a squeal, more like a harmonic squeaking sound and only when I turn the steering wheel.

I found that after around 5-10 minutes of driving it disappears.
Did you find the same thing ?

I haven't been doing much driving because of the CV-19 lockdowns, and I put it down to under-use.
