2002-2006 BMW E46 3-Series Late Model Power Steering Rack and Pinion ZF OEM

  

This steering rack was taken from a 2005 325i Sedan with 122k miles. The input shaft splines are clean, but there is some very minor surface rusting around the base of the shaft. The motion of the rack is smooth and normal, with no irregular play or binding.

The housing has no rubbing or cracks. The hard fluid lines have some rusting damage, so replace them at your discretion. The tie rods are not included.

Details can be viewed in the photos. This is a used original BMW part.

The pictures are photos of the actual part you will receive. 3 Series E46 From 09/01 - 2006 325Ci Coupe (E46/M54) From 09/01 - 2006 325Ci Convertible (E46/M54) 2003 - 2006 325Ci SULEV Coupe (E46/M56) From 09/01 - 2005 325i Touring (E46/M54) From 09/01 - 2005 325i Sedan (E46/M54) 2003 - 2005 325i SULEV Touring (E46/M56) 2003 - 2005 325i SULEV Sedan (E46/M56) From 04/01 - To 09/01 330Ci Coupe (E46/M54) From 04/01 - To 09/01 330Ci Convertible (E46/M54) From 04/01 - To 09/01 330i Sedan (E46/M54). All parts are guaranteed as described and working for 30 days, unless they are stated AS-IS condition. We strongly discourage using BMW dealerships for service using our parts. Please find a reputable German Specialty Repair Facility. If we verify compatibility using your vehicle VIN number we guarantee proper fitment. Labor costs will not be reimbursed. Rarely, large or difficult to package items will take a day or two longer. Which side does this part fit? Left = Driver side, Right = Passenger side. Reference to driver/passenger side is for left hand drive cars, so for RHD vehicles UK/Japan/Australia, etc. Please reverse the side indicated. What does the production month mean? When the fitment information includes a production month this means the part will only fit some of the cars within a given model year, depending on what month the car was manufactured. Production for the "model year" usually begins in September of the previous calendar year, so if you have a 1995 model BMW it will have been produced anywhere between 9/94 - 8/95. Some cars begin their production earlier than September, such as the first year production for a new model. For example, if we say the part fits 04/95 - 99 it will fit those cars with a production date of April 1995 to 1999 model year cars. Or if we say the part fits 99 - 05/99 it will fit 1999 model year vehicles and up to and including those with a production date of 04/99. Where do I find my car's production month?

The production month for your vehicle can be found on a sticker located on your front driver side door jamb. See the photo below for illustration.
