I've searched on realoem, bmwfans, Google and several different forums. The p/n's on the steering racks don't match up with BMW's 7 & 11 digit p/n's.
The rack I'm trying to identify has numbers (7852 955 237) & (2 227 192.0) on the original data plate and numbers (7852 955 237 02) & (7852 501 174 052) on a ZF remanufactured data plate. It also has (7852 501 174 052) embossed in the casting. I've also heard of identifying racks by the color of the finish.
How can I confirm what this rack is out of?
