    Power Steering Fluid? BMW only?

    Hey all,

    Just wondering if I can use off-the-shelf power steering fluid or if I have to buy the BMW stuff. Many thanks.

    On E30's, it's just ATF. Nothing fancy.

        No. It's standard cheapo ATF. Dex3.

            Any of the Dex ATF will work. I use Dex III.
