cheers
so pretty normal price absolutely mental for a single pallet, it's easier and similar price to air freight for two stacked top loading pallets, sea freight :/ Quote:
i'd give it a REALLY high chance of being in a crash.. but for that price.. as long as it passes visual inspection...? the original Rear only was listed at 1k GBP... i got it for 600... then he offered 500.. then it hit 14 days. so at this stage i think they're just desperate but getting the full M3 steering rack as well as all 4 brakes and the rear subframe+diff? yeesh. probably get it for 650-700GBP offer, ship it over for $800-900 AUD with a dodgy price declaration.. and you have a ridiculous bargain still. |

Yeah grab that shit up ASAP. Super cheap.
Btw, I don't think the steering rack will bolt right up. The steering column, power steering pulley and power steering pump at a minimum are different parts. If it works though, be sure to let me know Edit: Also might want to double check if the front subframe bolts straight up. The 1M uses the 135i front subframe.

same for all 4 shocks+springs. 1M has a different PS pump, but.. the hydraulic lines are all identical.. so i'd assume the 1m pump wasn't revised for any particular reason that would prevent this.. unless it needs stronger hydraulic pressure to overcome the lower lock to lock long term? E46/E36 M3 steering rack swaps were almost a normal thing to do though, and considering the level of homogeneity between 90% of all other components... it doesn't make much sense for it to simply 'not work' at all? that'd be something future brendan would worry about though ED: steering shaft is the same part - http://realoem.com/bmw/partxref.do?part=32306769166 tie rod ends are the same... PS hydraulic lines are the same so absolute worst case.. you'd need to get a wrecked 1m steering pump. not much of a hassle? ... that does remind me though.. i just found the 130i and 135i power steering pump/line setup is different. good catch lol.. though the rack's are identical.

135i - http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?...16&hg=32&fg=30 1M - http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?...35&hg=32&fg=30 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

I was seriously thinking about it, so I'm sure there were others.

tons of wreckers charging like $3-4k for the set saying 'yeah we don't care if it doesn't sell for a year or two'
.... it's like 75-90% of 'brand new' price o_o the worst part about ebay, is how things show up in searches... after about 30 different searches, i think i've managed to find most of what i want for an... 'okay' price, over different auctions, though |
