Nice wright up Dave, I found it tonight when googling my power steering problem that started on my way home tonight.
When I made a left turn from a stop sigh it sounded like my tires were rubbing. Heading down the road I made some swerves to the right and left and felt the rubbing so at the first side street I turned off to check for a flat or something I may have picked up off the road. Nothing, nada, everything looked fine. Got home and the noise and vibration was harsh as I backed into the drive. I jacked up the right and then the left and everything was free. Thought that short shield on the front of the inner fender might have flipped up and caused the rubbing so, I went to road test it but, never got out of the garage because the noise was still there.
In looking at a post on Bimmerforms, someone had the same symptoms I have and a new pump, reservoir and lines cured his problem. Now it's just finding the time to do the fix.

Ha! The wizard has spoken. J/K.
Mileage?
Reservoir filter could be clogged, PS pump could be on its way out, etc... As you mentioned. I would try to flush, turkey baster style, to see if you can save it.

My thought on the fluid is, it would of slowly progressed but, this was good one minute and bad the next. Tomorrow I'm going to watch the pulley while someone else moves the wheel and that rubbing noise starts. Looking for a broken shaft, if it broke on an angel it may make a noise like I'm hearing. Note, the noise nearly goes away at high rpms when moving the wheel in place.
