BG Power Steering Fluid on M3

tonymac1 · 01-21-2021, 10:34 PM

Had a local shop done a power steering fluid flush on the car, apparently they were using this BG Power brand Full synthetic 6704 fluid, and was saying they use this for all BMWs they work with. I thought the OEM factory recommended one was the CHF 11S?
Anyone has any experience with this product?

BG is snake oil sold by dealer that service advisors get a kick back for selling.
