He had not seen any power steering problems except in those cars whose reservoirs were running too high in terms of fluid. He had never seen a M3 power steering pump failure. Evidently there is a level for both cold and hot and they try to ensure that the hot steering pump reservoir level is "at spec." I took that to mean at the top of the dipstick (i.e. full). The problems he's seen were spilling of power steering fluid out the breather hole when the motor is hot and the reservoir is too full. That is the extent of the problems he's seen.

Interesting indeed. Maybe they found a fix since last May.
