Just bought one on EbaY, wondering if I got what I paid for.

m5 = 3.0 turns lock-to-lock
535i = 3.5 turns lock-to-lock

But I recall that before installing mine, the m5 box itself had a bit more than 3.0 turns between locks...but it worked out to exactly 3 turns once installed on the car.

It's an upgrade that I really enjoy...I'm sure you will too.

Interesting - the box I received has just about 3.5 turns between the internal stops, but once installed in the car? hmm. I might have to install to see, I guess..
