Hoping its not a huge repair
Taking it in Friday.
Did a power steering flush last November and everything checked out great.
Maybe active roll or shock problem?
Only 37k miles - what you guys think it is?

jack it up and inspect the front ARS unit. Mine was leaking fluid awhile back and I had a similar message, forgot exactly what it said hough but I remember the pic of the tilted car.

Spot on my friend - it is looow!
Any idea how that could happen - think the dealership didn't fill it back up to the proper level when they flushed it?
CHF 11S - can I get this at any auto parts store - or should I get it from BMW?
This forum rocks - you guys are awesome!!

Problem solved! Just filled it up with new fluid I just purchased form the dealer - error message gone.
But still really shocked how low it was.
Now, I looked around the seal and it appears it might have overflowed/leaked?
How can this be as I had a power steering flush last Nov and the invoice said all seals etc checked out OK?
If I have to replace the seal around the top of the reservoir is this a big deal?
Interesting...
