Check the fluid level and top up if low. Low PS fluid will cause a graoning sound from the pump when turning the wheels.

If the fluid level is good, check the condition of the belt. An old glazed belt can slip and make noise.

If neither of those apply, have the system checked by a dealer or BMW indie shop. The pump could be failing and you'd want to know that to be the case before throwing other parts at the problem.

I check the fluid and the belts are new.. I think its the pump
