i hope so
there is no plate on the box confirming its 2225 120

this wasnt a box from a m5

this was from a normal e28 3.7 turns outside car
send it back and bought a steeringbox from a m5 e34 instead with 3.4 turns outside car, so it be around 3.1 3.2 in car

So it's flipped upside-down? That might be a good option for my e12. What is the ratio?

bumpsteer spacers och e31 controlarms

better hoses

and new rubbet boots

the nwe hole thru the firewall

"new" steeringshaft

now some new powersteeringhoses left and thinkin what to use for new steering shaft rubber boot

M106 · Post by **M106** » May 13, 2017 3:03 AM

some updates

bought a 370mm refurbished Mtech1 steering wheel

need a longer stab links so e28 links is 240mm

went and bought e39 v8 series 285mm links

looks better now

but then more problems

maybe need longer links or change the rubber boot into more slim version

M106 · Post by **M106** » May 17, 2017 10:37 AM

much better
used a universal rubber boot and 300mm stab links

Understandable

that is a dream car for me to drive one day.

Great work though. I love the look of the grille with that extra chrome line, especially together with the Alpina bumper.

I can't really tell by the video but how is the bump steer? Does the wheel turn back to center without your guidance?

i have no bumpsteer, because i have coilovers and doesnt have to much suspension travel
it turns almost by itself, not like it was with steeringbox
