technical Power steering fluid

Good day all

Maybe just me, but can anyone advise where the power steering fluid reservoir is for the N20 engine (F30 320i)? Also what is the recommended interval to change the fluid? Or does the car not have power steering fluid?

Thanks

N series engines don’t have hydraulic power steering, everything is electric. If your steering isn’t feeling great it could be the servo motor for the power steering system or you’ve been driving your car in Sport+ all the time which causes the steering to feel heavier at low speeds. Comfort/Sport/Sport+ all have an effect on the weight of your steering wheel.

Thank you. So it is just me . Steering feels fine I was just curious with the car being over 135000km to check the fluid and possibly replace as all fluids weaken after time and use. So one less fluid to worry about
