I'm pretty sure my power steering fluid is low (and may even be leaking). I got the car used and I've been told that this model of BMW doesn't use standard power steering fluid. Does anyone know exactly what I should be buying to put into this car? Thanks. |

The BMW power steering reservoir's usually say "ATF Only" on the caps as well.

Yes, use ATF(Automatic Transmission Fluid) instead of normal Power Steering Fluid. |

As jzd mentioned for the 528i, I can confirm the same goes for the E46 3 Series as well for reference sake if someone comes across this like I did in search for 3 series information. |

It requires (Automatic Transmission Fluid). BMW has required ATF for Power Steering since the early 80's. Truthfully, power steering fluid wouldn't do a great amount of harm to the power steering system though. Power steering fluid and ATF are quite similar. |
