This is a replacement power steering fluid reservoir. Why replace the reservoir? Because the connection between the reservoir tank and the hoses is one of the prime locations for power steering leaks on these cars. It's mostly due to the style of clamp that BMW used. But also any replacement clamps are usually over-tightened on these plastic reservoir nipples. There is also a filter inside the reservoir that cannot be changed or serviced. So it's a good idea to replace the tank and get a new filter at the same time. With fresh fluid and a clean filter you might be able to restore some steering smoothness and precision to your BMW! Alternate part number - 32416851217. Reservoir includes new cap with o-ring.

The power steering pump is responsible for circulating fluid through the steering rack, often at pressures exceeding 1000 psi. Inside the pump, vanes and a rotor work together to generate the necessary pressure. Over time, these components can wear, leading to a decrease in pressure and resulting in steering that feels heavy or unassisted.

If you notice your steering becoming increasingly difficult to turn, it's likely time to replace the power steering pump. This high-quality, OE replacement from Bremmen Parts provides a reliable, long-lasting solution.

BMW utilized various power steering pumps during this time period, so it's important to verify your existing pump's part number to ensure you're selecting the correct replacement.
