£ for £ the E36 rack is the best improvement for the outlay. But you need to spend on other bits with DanThe to get it all plumbed up right and sort the steering linkage.

Totally transforms how an E30 steers

Fair enough. There have been a couple of posts recommending the e46 "clubsport" rack recently.

the cure for ignorance....is to ask.

I'd recommend an 067 e46 rack.

I picked mine up for £35 posted off eBay.

Sorry i'm not psychic :( . If you'd have stated you wanted to upgrade from the standard rack i'd of been more than willing to advise! The rest just made the assumption and got it right!

Yes that's the desired e46 rack. Make sure that if you get one, it has that 067 part number
