    Steering 
    system 
    Two types of steering  gear are used in the E39 series  models. 
    6-cylinder 
    (5251, 528i and 530i) models  are equipped with 
    rack  and pinion  steering. The  steering rack is mounted  to 
    an  aluminum  subframe. 
    V-8 
    (540i) models are  equipped with  a recirculating  ball 
    and  nut steering  gearbox mounted to a steel subframe. 
    At  low speeds,  maximum power assist is provided to  ease 
    parking  and city driving.  At high speeds, assist is  reduced to 
    ensure  stability.  The power steering system varies assist 
    based on  engine speed. 
    Power  boost for the  steering  is provided  by an  engine-driven 
    hydraulic pump. A hydraulic control valve is  used to control 
    boost  pressure. 
    The steering wheel  connects to the steering gear via  an ad- 
    justable  steering column  which incorporates a rubber  cou- 
    pling  (guibo)  to dampen  vibration  and noise. 
    Power steering  fluid is supplied from  the fluid 
    reservoir to the 
    pump  and to the  steering gear via  rubberlmetal hoses. 
    The  return  line from  the steering gear to  the 
    reservoir loops 
    into the airstream  in front  of the  radiator  and connects to  the 
    steering  fluid cooler.  The fluid  cooler is attached  to a cassette 
    which  also includes cooling coils for engine oil, transmission 
    fluid  and AIC condenser. 
    The steering gear requires no  maintenance other than align- 
    ment  and periodic  inspection for worn components. Inspect 
    rubber rack  boots 
    (rack and pinion system) and tie-rod  end 
    boots periodically for tears or damage. Replace 
    if necessary.

    NOTE- 
    The airbag system  is traditionally  referred to as  Supplemen- 
    tal  Restraint System  (SRS). The 
    BMW versfon of SRS used 
    m the E39 models  is known  as the Multiple Restraint System - (MRS). - -

    Steering system warnings and cautions 
    WARNING - 
    The BMW airbag system  is complex.  Special precautions 
    must  be observed when servicing the system.  Serious in- 
    jury  may  result if system service  is attempted  by persons 
    unfamiliar with the  BMW 
    airbag system and its  approved 
    service procedures.  BMW specifies  that all inspection and 
    service should  be 
    peiformed by an  authorized BMW deal- 
    e,: 
    The BMW E39 is equipped with an airbag mounted in 
    the steering  wheel. The 
    airbag is  an explosive device 
    and should  be treated  with extreme caution.  Always fol- 
    low  the 
    airbag removal procedure  as outlined in 721 
    Airbag System (SRS). 
    BMW airbags are  equipped with a  bacli-up power sup- 
    ply inside  the 
    airbag control module. A 5 second wait- 
    ing  period  should  be observed after the battery cable 
    has  been disconnected.  This will allow the reserve 
    power supply to discharge. 
    Do  not reuse self-locking  nuts. They are designed to 
    be  used  only once  and may fail if  reused. Always re- 
    place  them with  new locliing nuts. 
    * Do not install bolts  and nuts coated with undercoating 
    wax, as correct tightening torque cannot be assured. 
    Always  clean the threads with solvent before installa- 
    tion,  or install  new parts. 
    Do  not  attempt  to weld or straighten  any steering  com- 
    ponents.  Always replace  damagedparts. 
    CAUTION-- 
    - Some E39 models are equipped  with aluminum suspen. 
    sion components.  The following  cautions apply: 
    Due to the chemical  and corrosion characteristics of 
    aluminum, do not bring into contact with battery acid. 
    Do  not clean with wire brushes  with brass  or iron bris- 
    tles. Only use brushes  with stainless steel bristles. 
    Do 
    not expose to flying sparks from grindinghutting op- 
    erations. 
    Do  not subject to steel  welding splashes. 
    * Do not expose to temperatures over 80% (176°F). 
    even for  short periods.  Temperatures  in painting iacili- 
    ties are not a problem.

    WARNING - 
    The BMWairbag system (Supplemental Restraint System or 
    SRS) is complex. Special precautions must  be observed 
    when servicing. Serious injury  may result if 
    SRS system  serv- 
    ice  is 
    attempted by persons  unfamiliar with the BMW SRS 
    and its approved service  procedures. BMW specifies that  all 
    inspection  andservice  should be preformed by an  authorized 
    BMW dealer.
