Change to E60 will solve ur problem but E60 steering is too soft for me. No steering feel compare with E39...

e39 steering is meant to be abit on the harder side..I compared with my 46 and its so light..

Try service your power steering pump

Bro, power steering pump can be serviced ?

 

[Alex5522]

For BMW i'm not so sure since my E46 still ok touch wood.. But i did service my power steering pump for my Land Crusier VX Limited before, Try to check with your mechanic ?

 

[bimmerholic]

do they have such thing as repair kit for the pump (if needed at all)?
