Hydraulic or Servotronic??

insane79 · 08-03-2012, 05:14 PM

Hi,
I have a 2009 325 lci(Euro Model) I heard so much about the earlier hydraulic steering of the bmws & also about the not so great Servotronic one. How will i know which one i got? my steering does feels nice & the feedback is awesome, is there a way i can find out which one i got by vin number or something?

Thanks..

IIRC, all current US BMWs with hydraulicly boosted steering are Servotronic (vehicle speed sensitive variable assist).

Good ol' CHF 11S, if your BMW doesn't use it, don't buy it or get used to the vague steering!
