It'll either be ATF (Dexron III is ATF), or a special hydraulic fluid Pentosin CHF 7.1 or CHF 11). The correct fluid will also be noted on the reservoir cap, especially if it's the CHF-fluids.
If its ATF (and I'm almost sure it is for the E46 3-series; it was for the E36 3-series), then if you're doing a top-off, pretty much any decent brand of Dexron III ATF will do.
If you're planning on a fluid replacement, then I'd go synthetic. Redline D4ATF or Mobil 1 ATF, for longer fluid life and consistent performance in a wide range of temperature conditions.What power steering fluid should I buy for my 2001 bmw 325i?Just go full synthetic...Brand doesn't really matter as long as it's full synthetic.. :-)
