since i kinda need a new steering box (too much slack for my liking), im thinking that I need to get that one from the 740il e32 i mentioned a couple of days ago. it is the large unit, with the big pumpkin torque converter on the end. i've been laboring under the impression that someone with an e34 on this board has retrofitted servotronic without buying additional parts, when in reality, i'd been thinking about sean and johan. looking at their page, even their servotronic box is not as big and pumpkinny as the one i found. im wondering if anybody can tell me if the servotronic unit will even fit in my car without metalwork or modifications. on the same note, considering that the e32 i found will likely still have all of the servotronic electronics in it (and i could probably get the electronics + box for less than $45 USD) what would i need to get out of it (aside from the module under the kickpanel)?

another question......does anyone here have servotronic in their e34? i ask politely....does it make the car feel like a overweight american boat? some have alluded to this. george mann, in his "uniqueness", indicated that he didn't like the servotronic in his car. if, this is even a retrofit capable of occuring, is this something I would want to do? i like "direct" steering, would like my box to be more like a rack and pinion, but i would still like to retain a similar road feel. thanks for listening.
