Additional Notes

  • The BMW Z8, E52 (USA) power steering system holds 1.2 liters of fluid, which represents the service fill capacity for the separate power steering reservoir.
  • The Z8 (1999-2003) runs a separate power steering system rather than one integrated with another hydraulic circuit, meaning the fluid volume of 1.2 liters applies exclusively to the steering circuit on its own.
  • Although the reservoir cap is labeled for ATF (automatic transmission fluid), the 1.2-liter capacity figure belongs to the dedicated power steering system, not the transmission.
  • The single capacity value of 1.2 liters applies under normal use conditions across the full 1999-2003 production span of the Z8, with no variation listed by model year within that range.
