WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 27 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW M6, 2017 BMW 650i xDrive, 2017 BMW 650i, 2017 BMW 640i xDrive, and 2017 BMW 640i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
Adhere to the utmost cleanliness. Do not allow any dirt to enter the hydraulic system.
Using contaminated equipment to add fluid may introduce dirt particles into the fluid reservoir, this can significantly reduce the service life of the hydraulic steering system. Do not use any filler funnels or similar!

Visual inspection and leak test
Check connections, hoses and steering box for traces of fluid.
Check oil level
Check fluid level with engine switched off at expansion tank of power steering/ride height control system. The oil temperature should be approx. 20°C here.
Ensure that the cap is fully screwed in prior to the fill level check.
If necessary, add HYDRAULIC FLUID up to Max. marking (1).
IMPORTANT:
If the oil level has dropped to the min. marking (2), you must inform the customer and check the power steering and ride height control for leaks and issue a separate invoice for this work.
It is not enough merely to top up the fluid.
