Thread: shorter steering

  1. #1

    Default shorter steering

    I have a 525i Touring and i want a shorter stearing ratio, i see that the M5 has a
    different part number for the steering box, but i don not know what the ratios for these boxes are.. Anyone?

    is it posible to buy a longer pitman arm to make a higher gear ratio?

    don't waste your time and $$$$$$ with that cuz it's not cheap.. just buy a smaller diameter wheel and let the illusion of tighter ratio bring you pleasure
