    E46 M3 Stalls out on when turning wheel

    Hey guys, another quick issue...my car idles fine, pulls hard, drives just fine. However - when im slowing down and turning to the left or right - the car RPM drops to 400-500. If i turn the car full lock, itll stall out completely.

    As far as I know - the power steering system doesn't have any switches or anything. Could this point to a problem with the power steering pump? Alternator going bad? Something electrical?

    My guess would be power steering pump.

    Check ps fluid reservoir and make sure its topped up and not leaking.

    Check belts and all pulleys.
