looking at the bmwfans.info, the reference of the csl steering rack is the same as the normal M3, is it normal ?

CSL rack is a slightly quicker rack i thought, new price is twice a normal M3 rack, but std M3 rack will fit CSL from breakers yard I reckon

No it's not the same as the normal E46 M3. CSLs steering rack is unique to the CSL and the CS E46 M3.
14.5:1 for the CS & CSL compared to 15:4:1 for the normal E46 M3

Hi,

The CSL Rack is slightly quicker in the
turn ratio than the std E46 M3 Rack.

The BMW Z3 Rack from a 1.9 up to a
2.8 is also the same ratio as the CSL,
but it has to be the half steel/half alloy
casing version, and not a Z3M Coupe
either.

There is no centre steering angle sensor to the Z3 Rack.

The quick Z3 Rack is not so easy to find.

Regards,

The Gorilla.

does the Z3 rack bolt on straight to M3/CSL? or does it need any modification?
