I ask because BMW stopped making the small black plastic ATF reservoirs and lids to those reservoirs...and the superceded part is to install the CHF 11 S reservoirs and caps as replacement for either if a new one or replacement is called for.

If your PS system has ATF in it...you don't have to switch over to CHF 11 S (unless one wants to). BMW provided labels to be used to help identify that the vehicle still uses ATF even though it may have a CHF 11 S lid or lid & reservoir installed due to a need to replace the reservoir or lid.
I have always had chf11s on the cap, and the fluid was deff not red the first time I did a flush. When I was replacing the leaking PS lines, I also got a new reservoir and cap. Both, have chf11s on it, stamped, but look identical to what I used to have, less the green sticker now.
