I'd need to check Pete. Shame as it's not drivable. Would be good to try it out.

I think you'll find that BMW 'recycled' some of the option code numbers, and they don't mean quite the same today as they did back in the day.

this option seems to come up a lot on e30 option sheets for some reason. wondering if the code has been changed at somepoint as as far as i know all e30 power steering systems are the same, and other than the drivebelt to the engine are completely independent systems with no ecu or speed sensor connections or electronics.
all power steering is speed dependent really because they work on pressure differential, and when the car is moving the wheels are easier to turn so it doesnt need to provide as much assistance as when you turn the wheel lock to lock with the car stationary, but effort at the steering wheel is very similar.
