Hi everyone,

I have a 1991 325i with a leaking high pressure steering hose that is in need for replacement. The problem is I am not able to source high pressure steering hose for my RHD e30 as all the websites I come up with are for LHD. Does anyone know which reputable sites would sell these hoses?

And I was told that repairing or fabricating pressure hoses are not the best option..is that correct? Any e30ers can chime in on this?

The part number I need is 32411137154 if that would help.

Thanks a ton in advance and happy holidays.

Cheers,
Marcus

Willnz, thanks for the info. I'm actually based in Hong Kong (also RHD). Any suggestions?

Thanks :)

There are quite a few fraggers if you look in the parts for sale section.

But as already said, DanThe sells pipes, which are better quality than original. Which is worth a PM.

I make the return from rack pipe as its no longer available from BMW, I would phone your local BMW dealers and enquire first, they are showing as £280 odd here

The return pipe from me is £100

Thanks Dan, do you have one in stock? And what is the total you would charge along with shipping?

Just replied to your pm Marcus, I don't do the high pressure pipe at the moment but I can do it if you are not rushed for time

Just a quick question.. I somehow found an older part which says it is "Exchangeable retrospectively". Does this mean that this hose from an older part can also be used as well for my car?

The link to the realoem site is http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/partxre ... 2411134457.

Hope someone could chime on this and much appreciate the help.
