Got this last night pulling out of a side street. Car tracked to the right with the steering wheel straight.

• Pulled the car over
• Turned it OFF
• Opened Driver's side door
• Closed the door
• waited a minute
• Turned the car back ON

Warning's gone and car tracked straight, no issues on the drive home.
Could this be an issue with IAS? Power steering or rack?
Did anyone experience something similar?

Everything seems normal, however My BMW app wants me to call service:

I had this happen on my 2019 G05 X5 40i. I recall that it ended up being a battery that had failed (mine has 4 in it for various things, your X7 may as well). I also had other faults occur beyond the "Steering Effort Changed" message.

Thanks, I guess a trip to the dealer is in order. So far the fault did not return.

Mine didn't either. If we have the same issue, eventually the battery will fail... likely at an inopportune time.
