E39-ers,

If you hear a kinda squeeky noice coming from your steering wheel, you're probably low on power steering fluid, just found out this morning that my ride that has bone barely 40,000km is bleeding. Anyone of you have had your hoses changed? How much did it cost you? PML quoted me 300 smack-a-roos, think it's a tad on the high side......well, then again, everything is on the "high" side with the folks at PML
 
bru... did u check ur powersteering rack as well... coz if it's leaking, it's gonna cost much more... gd luck!
 
actually have the entire steering column changed under warranty last year.
Just gotten it fixed @ BVO for S$160. Thanks for the imput.

I have just had this occur on my E39/520 at 43000 k. I was away on leave for three weeks and came back to find the power steering fluid drained out on the garage floor.

The car goes in this week for service and repair. What needed to be replaced on your car?

This is not the first time this has happened to me, my last 97 E39/520 also did the same at 93000 k and required the rack to be replaced.

Is this a common problem with the E39 520's?
