for e9x and e8x its very simple
if your car has auto start/stop (vehicle stop engine on crossroads if car not moving and clutch is depressed and you have button for this function, then your steering will be electric otherwise it will be hydraulic

I don't have start/stop on my car. The car also doesn't have a power steering reservoir or power steering pump.

I think you will find it may be the facelift (LCI) cars that have electric steering. |

Mines a manual.
I also have an E92 pre facelift that's a 56 plate this has hydraulic power steering. I much prefer the electric rack in my 59 plate LCI E91. The hydraulic rack is too heavy. Last edited by Silver Streek; 09-08-2024 at 03:58 AM.. |

Except 335i, which kept hydraulic steering through to the end of the E9x production.

Is this a Euro market thing? Both pre LCI and LCI e90s in North America still retain hydraulic power steering.

It got to a point in Europe where standardised fuel economy test results were completely detached from real world performance, which ultimately resulted in the test methodology being changed to prevent the ability of manufacturers to game the results. |
