I have an older BMW (1989 25is). My power steering is low. I have no idea where to put new fluid under the hood. I see coolant, oil, transmission fluid but where's the power steering? I don't want to put it in the wrong place and all hell breaks loose. I don't have a manual as I bought the car used.
Can anybody direct me to an under-the-hood diagram and let me know where the power steering fluid goes?
It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Well, there is a typo in your post as there was no 1989 25is, but I will assume that you have a *3*25is since I know that the 525 came as a coupe (the "s"), so...
This is what the the PS reservoir looks like on your car:
be sure you put the proper fluid, READ the reservoir lid carefully.... 11s or 7s are the options I believe!
Yes, I do have a 325is. Thanks to all. And the power steering fluid I have is leftover from the mechanic who put it in the last time so it has to be the right kind.
Thanks aga>> I have an older BMW (1989 25is). My power steering is low. I have no idea
Now that's what I call a rash assumption :-)
Oh dear. ;-)
I agree, CHECK FIRST!!!
And the power steering fluid I have
What I want to know is how does he know that the fluid is low if he doesn't know where the reservoir is?
