Hi guys

I have a 2014 328i xdrive, which I normally service myself. However, it's been stupid cold in New Jersey this week, so I had the dealer do a brake flush (per the cbs computer).

That's all well and good, but they came back with a recommendation to do a power steering fluid flush. I'm just looking to confirm that all F30s have an EPS rack, without hydraulic fluid, correct?

Could the dealer really be that dumb? Or that manipulative?

Dealer's right. Car has a backup steering rack that uses power steering fluid.

You should have them top off the blinker fluid as well while they're at it.

Backup sounds like it would never be used.

He's pulling your leg! The "blinker fluid" reference was the (old) giveaway

The Infiniti Q50 does have a backup steering rack for its drive by wire system, so I just wanted to be sure.
