3.0 z4 - which power steering fluid?

[mikeinaustin]

I've asked the folks get getbmwparts.com and their reply was check the cap on the power steering reservoir. i just did that the only thing on it (other than a warning in english and german not to open when hot) was the number "140". i removed the cap to look on the underside, and again, just the number 140. it isn't listed in the manual either.

so anyone have an idea about what the proper power steering fluid type is?

I think you can just go to your BMW service department for this.
They will know right away.
Also, isn't it covered under maintenence warranty within 4 years?
