M5 steering box


Is the steering lock any different with this one over the 525i? What is the difference?

[Iwo]

There is a difference.
M5 steering is 15.6:1 and 525i is I think 16.4.1..
It gives you better feel and no play on the wheel

[Iwo]

I'm putting it next week

[bahnstormer]

are you Polish?

What was shipping like? Also where did you have it shipped to?

[Iwo]

Yes, I'm Polish. Shipping was about 100$ from Warsaw to Los Angeles.
It's still great deal :D

[BigKriss]

[healtoeit]

M5 steering is 15.6:1 and 525i is I think 16.4.1.


Do you know if the wheel turns left to right lock is different?



no play on the wheel


Isn't the play due to loose gearing?

[Iwo]

Yes it is

[healtoeit]

Yes it is
Could you elaborate please?
