Huh, looks like your mock up method was good enough after all. All that anger on the facebook group was unnecessary, it seems.

lots of haters

Very nice, what is the steering rack from?

RHD e46 purple tag

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

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

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

[ElGuappo]

Great work, this project delivers!

[funfunfer]

I'm totally impressed by the concepts and the execution. Inspiring.
