Check the part number from the rack on realoem/bmwfans and find the correct boot that way. A e36 M3 one should fit though. You can use the e36 tie-rods as well.

I used hole e36 (e36 325 94' coupe) steering rack in e30 ( e30 316 '90). All changes were the spacers to hold it in place and the part that connects it to steering wheel. It was m50 conversation so hoses were from e36. The e36 wasn't M one so not 100% that works for you.

how did you connect the M3 rack to the E30 steering column did you buy bits made to measure or did you modifiy the bits youself?
