    Question HELP : 2013 Bmw x1 35i - Steering does not return to center

    Hi everyone. Happy New Years !
    I just joined this forum.
    I own a 2013 bmw x1 35i, 2009 bmw 535i Xdrive, 2006 bmw m5 among other non bmw’s.

    My 2013 x1 35i usually gets parked in Dec-March. This year due to covid , wife is working from home i decided to just let it sit. It has the notorious valve cover leak issue and it developed a steering issue.
    We sold our Acura Mdx and decided to fix/drive the x1.

    Naturally the battery died for sitting for 12mths. I replaced the battery and it fired right up. I put on the winter tires / rims.

    My x1 when I turn at a intersection : left / right it feels like I have to turn the wheel more than I should.

    Then the steering wheel does NOT return to centre. I manually have to keep turning the steering wheel to straighten it out.
    This issue happened 1 day last December and like i said i just decided to park it as I usually do and figured id fix that issue and the valve cover when i start driving it.

    Any ideas on steering issue ?
    Online ive read : power steering, steering rack, alignment, ball joints/tie rods etc...
    Never been in an accident, no codes, no noises....

    Thanks,
