Thanks for your explanations. Then IŽll look for a Z3 4 Cyl steering rack  Edit: I looked up the steering rack at the online spare parts catalog. The steering racks are the same at the "normal" Z3, no matter if it has a M43, M52 or M54 engine. So a steering rack from a non-M Z3 would have 2.75 turns from lock to lock? The part number is 32 13 1 095 575. Am I right?

I double checked my self to be sure and it's 2.7 turns... __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

I didn't do anything to it, but I drove it good and hard on a 30 mile thrash round the country lanes  Every time I went round a corner, I grinned to myself... apart from the times I was stuck behind this a-hole in a Mitsubishi Space Wagon who insisted on driving about 20mph below the speed limit...  But the autumn colours are so pretty this time of year - that kinda made up for the snail brigade!

Where the hell is the corner light clip? I can't figure out how to get the corner light out...so that I can get the headlight out...
This is supposed to be EASY!!! | | | | | 11-13-2010, 06:45 PM | #808 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: norcal - 94590 Posts: 3,186 |
Once you remove the screws holding the headlight unt, the side marker light will come out with the headlight. The clip is on the side of the unit, between the little slide rails for the corner light. __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

be gentle with the sidemarker rails... The sidemarkers are attached only to the headlight unit and just have a long pin on the other side for alignment when installing. Corner lights (not fender sidemarkers, btw...) __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.
