M3 rack was indeed a direct swap. Keep in mind that you will need to retain your existing tie rods. Also keep in mind that my car had regular Power Steering and not Active Steering, which at only 1.7 turns lock to lock, is even faster than the 1M/M3's 2.2 turns lock to lock, didn't particularly care for Active Steering's lack of feel when I tried it on a friend's car though. I'm not sure coding (along with a wiring harness retrofit) is enough to enable Servotronic, but some fiddling with the Servotronic solenoid on the rack might be all that's needed to reduce steering effort. I have grown used to the added steering effort, so its not something I'm going to worry about any longer.
