NAPA sells it for $22. My dealer quoted me $38! Even with my CCA discount it's way overpriced. I'm about to do a flush soon so looks like I'm heading to NAPA. However, BavAuto says to change out the reservoir too which is $78 at my dealer.
there's a vid by BavAuto thats titled 'Changing The Power Steering Filter & Fluid On A BMW' ... search for it, thats pretty much what i did. its a pretty good DIY.
i really don't think a change of the reservoir is needed unless your car has really high mileage or is really old. with frequent flushes (i do mine every 10 to 12k miles), the reservoir should be relatively sludge free. i agree with not going to the dealer to buy parts from them, everything is usually grossly overpriced at the dealer.

When you flush it do you remove the reservoir or just suck out the old fluid with a transfer pump?
search the following on youtube - "How To Check Your Power Steering Fluid Level On Your BMW". the reservoir should be in the same location for you.
