Possible Steering Problem with 2012 Mini
I was in a tight parking spot. Turned wheel all the way to left and it seemed to lock. Did it at least one more time. After a bit both times it turned normal.

Any thoughts

2012 BRG Mini.

IIRC, there is a caveat in the manual about holding the steering wheel against the extreme stop. Maybe it's the power steering motor protecting itself against overheating?
