TriggerFish Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 They're dirt cheap (full racks) on eBay if it helps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msc Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Are they all the same ? As I've heard people boasting recently about fitting a clubsport rack I would of thought there all the same Sent from crapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonlpearce Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Fairly sure the CS rack is same as all other non-m racks. Just replace like for like with one off ebay, will make life so much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerFish Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) No, the clubsport rack is different - it has a purple tag, not silver and a different part number. It's also fewer turns lock to lock (3.0 vs. 3.4 for the rest of the range). That said, it's also on some other e46s (320td seems common), so it's not exclusive to the clubsport, but it is different the rest of the range.

msc Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Might just throw one of these in happy day lol Sent from crapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerFish Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Yup. eBay is a good bet - just search for e46 steering rack and look at the photos as most don't seem to know what they are. Some E30 people have got them from under £20 apparently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
