Hello all!
I am trying to help my mom with her 2002 745i. She told me that usually after driving about 100 feet or so, a notification pops up on the instrument cluster that reads exactly “Steering!” - She also said that she didn’t notice any difference in her steering or anything else since this message started popping up.
I tried searching Google, but since the notification is so generic, I couldn’t find anything relevant. Does anyone know what this message means?
Thank you for your help!
You're going to have to have it scanned for fault codes. NOT with a crappy generic OBD II code reader from Autozone. A real, BMW capable scan tool that reads any and all the modules in the car. There's probably 40 or so in a 2002 745i.
You could take it to a BMW specialist shop or dealership if you're not comfortable working on it.

Check the steering fliud
I got this a lot when my steering system had a slow leak.
It probably just needs topping off.
Don't let it run low though, the same supply of steering fluid also runs the anti roll suspension system.
