Any steering rack pros/ experts?

Afternoon all,

question, I know a fair bit about racks but not in depth... Basically i have a 330ci sport with the 067 purple tag which has a bit of play on n/s -

i bought a refurbed apparently "purple tag" rack off ebay last year just never got around to fitting it yet - only opened the box easter weekend as i had some time to change, but looks like theyve sent me a rack off a standard bm pn is -

7852501487

i called them to swap over but they said dw they are all the same? and check the turning.. it is 3 turns lock 2 lock, but none of the numbers on the rack match up..

Wondering if anyone could help clarify after I end up replacing it! Apparently the 067s have a better "feel"?

thanks

Apologies for the basic question.. But does it have the purple tag on it?

The 067 racks have a different part number - 7852974679

As per:

The part number you gave comes back with normal rack results, with no purple tag..

I'm tempted to do this to my 330CI Sport too.  

Would you recommend it?  And how long did it take to fit?

Cheers
