Power steering fluid 2007 e90 335d

Hi all, I'm looking to top up my power steering fluid for my 2007 e90 335d,

On the car it states ATF fluid only, however my last few bmws had a green sticker that was placed over the cap with chf 11s on it. Over time these came off. Displaying the old atf text engraved on the cap underneath.

My new car has no sticker on it, however I checked on real OEM and everything States its chf 11s on the cap and replacement tank parts.

I'm thinking the sticker has come off. Also I can't tell what colour the oil is in the tank at the moment brava use its old and black.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

CHF11S for sure make sure it is too, for Christ sake don't buy Euro's equivalent as they don't do it even though they claim they do an equivalent Triple QX spec, trust me they don't

Did the Turkey baster approach on mine last year. I think it changed out more than 60% of the fluid but defo worth it and used Pentosin.
