Is there a difference?

Someone said the racks are different, some say they are the same.

Visually they are the same, but whats the deal?

I think M3 have less turns lock to lock than non-M LHD E30's.

i need to know exactly what the difference with the racks is....

as a normal LHD one is visibly the same as an m3 rack.
