Is it normal for a BMW 3 Series to make a clicking noise when turning?

I've noticed that my BMW 3 Series makes a clicking noise when I turn the wheels. Is this a normal sound or could it be a sign of a bigger issue?

It is not normal for a BMW 3 Series to make a clicking noise when turning. This could be a sign of a problem with your vehicle's steering system.

I have a BMW 3 Series and it also makes a clicking noise when turning. After speaking with a mechanic, I learned that it is caused by a faulty strut bearing. I would recommend getting it checked out.

I used to have a BMW 3 Series and it also made a clicking noise when turning. It turned out to be an issue with the CV joints. I suggest getting them inspected and replaced if needed.
