    E46 steering rack part #s

    Hello everyone,

    I´m looking at doing the e46 rack swap but i´m not sure which rack is best suited for this.
    There is a purple tag rack with 7852 974 678/6 755 064 available for sale locally and I would like to make sure I am looking at the right one.

    Is there a sticky with the different rack part numbers anywhere?

      This is going to be a one man thread :yawn:

      So in the end I ordered the Gold tagged rack from a 330i for 100$ shipped.
      I had read somewhere that both inner and outer E46 arms could be used, so I am going to try the install with the ones already on the rack.

      I won´t have time until mid August but I will take pictures and do a write up, since I could´t find an E46 rack specific DIY.

      Ta-ta for now Hipster Youts.

          I spend a few months in Europe every year and the IS is my vacation car. The rack came from a local breakers, but there have to be Gold tagged racks available in the U.S. for much less than the Z3 rack.
