posted a new topic erlier because my steering rack on my 1990 316i is shot. was thinking of changing to a E36 butfound out requires a bit of work. just found a 325i sport rack and wondering if this will bolt straight onto my 1990 316i.

thanks in advance

The 325 rack will be the same but you will probably have to swap the pipes forthe ones off your rack.
E36 rack isnt a difficult swap,couple of spacers and bit of pipework and your done :D

Here you go fella, Z3 rack in this link, but the mods to the pipes and spacers are the same for Z3 / E36 rack to make it fit on the e30

lots to read through anyway ! :D
