e30 Steering Rack

I have a 1988 325. I'm pretty sure my steering rack is worn out, feels kinda loose and stuff. Anyway, I want a rack that is quicker than the 4-turn lock to lock I have now. LIke will an e30 m3 rack fit in my car? Or any other model? Thanks!

I'm pretty sure an M3 rack would fit, it would be a little expensive though... I know E36 M3 racks fit E30 M3s, maybe you can go that way. Either way it would be a lot of $$$.

Expect to pay between $400 and $500 for the M3 steering rack. My E30 has the M rack, I like it alot.

Yes.. the E36 M3 racks fit all E30s.. with some modifications..
http://www.zionsvilleautosport.com/ has an article on there about it..

The E30 M3 rack should bolt right up..
