That's what exactly happened to mine last week. Mine is also sports package. I was out of town driving my friend's Toyota Camry, and I kinda really enjoying the feeling that I usually just use one hand to press on the steering wheel, and make the turn, the car is so easy to handle. But after a week I came back in town, put in the key, turned it on, engine started, holy smoke! It was soooo tight!
Also the brakes!
It took me about an hour to pick it up again.

Anyway as it was due for service i mentioned it to the stealer and they said that they would look into it.
Apparently one of the power steering pressure pipes is leaking and needs replacing (£350). In all honesty I don’t think that the steering is that bad, its just that i drove another car which is much smaller that probably made me feel that the steering was heavy.
Of course i trust the stealers (ha), but i was wondering if you guys also think that the steering on the x5 is particularly heavy and if anyone else has experienced anything similar.
