Does anyone know of a Z3 being broken?

[Butters]

Hi there all, I'm on the look out for a Z3 steering rack and just thought there may be someone on here either breaking a Z3 or knows of one being dismantled. Must be from a non-M model.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Best regards,

James.

Noticed this while browsing their site - no idea about the car though

try partsgateway.co.uk.... it's where i got mine from. Fitted it just last month, its a great mod.

Oh yeah ..make sure its from a 4 pot z3 (assuming you want the quicker rack)

have a look in my jornal for the picture of the part number (half way down), its a good idea to get them to confirm the number over the phone!

I tried partsgateway just a few days ago for a Z3 rack.
The only supplier that came up was FAB and they wanted £350!
You can get a refurb one from Eurocarparts for £340 (inc £120 surcharge).

I'd probably steer clear of one from a car with front-end accident damage...

I got mine through Partsgateway for £120, but since then every man and his dog has made enquiries, which seems to have driven prices through the roof.

Many thanks for your help chaps. Yep I am looking to fit this to my E30 project but it seems that dismantlers are ramping the prices up now I can get an E36 or E46 rack for £90 but they seem to want £300+ for a Z3 rack which is just ridiculous!

It's a great mod but I fitted a smaller steering wheel last week which in itself has made a world of difference!

The search continues...

Good luck mate.

I looked for 1.9 rack for 12 months and gave up, you will be very lucky to get one under £300.
