Very nice write-up, thanks. I plan to do the power steering flush on my wife's 07 328i (71,500 miles) tomorrow. I checked the reservoir today, and was shocked to find the level quite low. I'm not getting any warning lights, so hopefully I've caught it in time.

Just one question - should I replace the crush washers on the banjo bolt used to drain the fluid? I know these would be a dealer item, but the dealer is a very long drive for me. I'll definitely change them if it's recommended, but just want to hear the consensus first. Thanks.

Edit: Never mind - I read through this thread again, and saw that the Bentley manual recommends replacing the crush washers, so I'll go ahead and get some.
