The 1M seems to have 2 options, one of them being the same diagram as the 135i but it doesn't list part numbers. http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?...16&hg=32&fg=30
I think it might have something to do with every RHD 1M, regardless of build date, on realOEM seem to have Active Steering which would result in different hydraulic lines, steering column, pump etc. Maybe a mistake with realOEM.
I did ask harold@HPA one time about this and he said that he had a look underneath the cars and that it didn't look like a straight swap of the racks and tie rods. He didn't really elaborate on why though. Man of few words through PMs.
I really hope that it does work though, because if so I'm definitely doing it  |
ahhh right, i see now.. i assume if the part is semi-listed on the 1M page, that it works, but isn't sold with?
i'll have a further look at parts numbers when i get home :/
well can't work it out for sure unless someone gives it a go right?
I've had others say that the tie rod ends of the non-rack side fit on.
am seriously starting to bite off more than i can chew almost hahahaha
