Why is the steering in my BMW 2 Series feeling stiff?

I've noticed that the steering in my BMW 2 Series is feeling stiff and harder to turn than usual. What could be causing this and how can I improve it?

There are a few possible reasons for stiff steering in your BMW 2 Series. One common cause is low power steering fluid. Check the fluid level and top it off if necessary.

Another possible cause is a faulty power steering pump. If the pump is not functioning properly, your steering may feel stiffer than normal. Have a mechanic check the pump and replace it if needed.

It's also important to check your tires and make sure they are properly inflated. Low tire pressure can make the steering feel heavier. Check the recommended tire pressure in your owner's manual and adjust as needed.
