My pump is cracked - s omy can't can't hold fluid well at all. Parallel parking is a bitch. I've worked up a nice sweat getting into a tight spot(wow - not sure that came out right)
But for me - e30 power racks have WAY too much assist - that much assiat is great on a caddy - bad on a small sports sedan.
Take off your belt and see if you like it.(that again came out weird)

My 318s powersteering is overkill though.

Anyone who thinks e30 have too much power assist, drive a Jeep Wrangler. No wonder people roll those things all the time. :roll:'91 318is

is the power steering fluid also used to lubricate the steering rack without power assist? ive got my first track day comming up in a week and i'm worried that i wont be let on the track with a leaking steering rack, so i was considering draining the fluid and disabling the power assist. i'm not too worried about hurting my steering rack since i'm getting it replaced very shortly, i just dont want my steering rack gears to lock up on me at any time

They'll tell you whether or not it would pass. Is it actually leaking, or just oozing out of older hoses? An actual leak (one that requires regular refills) would be an issue, the normal seeping and oozing of old hoses won't get you flagged usually, mine aren't in the best of shape, but I haven't been called on it yet. No big deal, I'm replacing them this summer anyway.

I hate the steering in the E46, it's too easy and you can't feel the road nearly as well. I like how in the E30 a bump will pull the steering wheel a little. It gives a very connected to the road feel.-Brandon
