Why Does My BMW X5 Make a Grinding Noise When Turning?

I have noticed that my BMW X5 makes a grinding noise whenever I turn the steering wheel. What could be causing this and is it something I should be concerned about?

The most common cause of a grinding noise when turning in a BMW X5 is worn out wheel bearings. It is important to have this checked and replaced if necessary, as worn out wheel bearings can lead to more serious issues down the road.

Another possible cause could be worn out CV joints. This is a common issue in BMW X5 models and should be checked and replaced if necessary. Ignoring this issue could result in damaged CV joints and a more expensive repair.
