SOLD!

FOR SALE: E9x M3 Steering Rack OEM (for RWD only - will not work on XDrive)

My absolute favorite mod on my 335i. Steering is transformed completely! With a 12.5:1 steering ratio, the whole feel of the car is changed for the better. Makes the car feel like a true sports car because it turns in so fast!

Install is quick and cheap! Petrolwerks charged me $100 for install and was done within an hour. (Note: you will need an alignment afterwards)

CONDITION: Excellent condition! I used for roughly 5-6k miles. This is NOT a reconditioned rack, it came off a low-mileage M3 that was hit from behind.

REASON FOR SELLING: Parting out everything as I'm selling the car.

PRICE: SOLD!

LOCATION: SOLD!

SHIPPING: Local pick-up only. No Shipping.

CONTACT: SOLD!

can anyone confirm that this takes an hour to install? $100 for steering rack installation sounds low.

OP: is this plug and play and knowing that this is going to be servo-less, what was your workaround?

it is plug and play, minus the servo. We didn't plug it in. Steering feel is a bit tighter, but that's what you want anyways.

do you need a bigger/different ps pump? also, is your steering wheel centered or off by 7 degrees like some folks reported from this swap?

NocturnalEVO · 07-25-2017, 12:32 AM

Stock ps pump is just fine.
Steering was perfectly center.
