If your blinker doesn't blink, or blinks rapidly, you likely have a burnt out bulb
White light when you back up - yup, they burn out and you can replace them with bright LEDs
DRLs are on more than your headlights. They burn out faster and should be replaced regularly

The video above shows you the steps needed to check the power steering fluid level in your 2011 BMW 535i. Checking the power steering fluid level in your 535i is relatively easy and should be done once a month or if you are experienced difficulty turning the wheel or steering your 535i. Your 535i should be parked on a level surface and your 3.0 liter engine should be cold to the touch.
If the power steering fluid level in your 535i is low, fill it up to the maximum line with power steering fluid and check it again in a week to determine if you have a leak. The power steering fluid reservoir will typically have a symbol of a steering wheel on the cap. Likewise, if your 535i has electric power steering, you may see a steering wheel picture with an explanation point next to it on your dashboard to indicate power steering problems.
