Seems rather OTT. I've had 300km+ cars with no rack change. There's not much inside the racks so it could actually be your inner tie rod rather than the rack itself.

It would as the Z3 is based on an E36 chassis and the purple tags are from E36/E46 chassis, BUT the Z3 should be a blue tag in which case there's not much benefit for you.

1x available, no outer tie rods. Available for pickup in Auckland after 16th Nov. Pm me if you’re keen.

Bump, also now have 'in stock' options available for those without exchange units.

Looking for a new project back in the BMW world. Some options - - E46 M3 rolling body (not the $8k wreck on trademe...) - rego on hold. - E92 M3 - write off with engine - no rego needed - E31 840ci - non runner / high kms / body work ok as long as it has rego on hold. No 850ci's please. I'm not looking for running mint cars. Appreciate these aren't generally sitting around but if anyone has leads let me know

If you have one / some taking up garage space PM me; I'm buying for $20 plus postage. Buying up to continue to provide slim steering conversion joints. Cheers

Expanding from e30 joints to now cover e36, e46, z3, z4 etc. These are a really nice super slim (20mm wide) unit which has BMW OEM ends grafted on as shown and have a 40mm collapsible section. Great for turbo swaps, larger manifolds, engine swaps, v8’s etc. $150 each plus shipping. All are built to order to ensure the length and ends are 100% match. As with all brake and steering items these are used at your risk. PM me to discuss your requirements

Google’s not helping me tonight, so I’ll ask here (smarter people anyway) Did NZ get the 3 door 1 series aka F21? I’m looking for one for a project. Plenty in the UK, and they’re cheap as chips. While also being as salty as chips… tia

I have personally had no issues with a VTNZ WOF in the past, but that isn't a guarantee! If you're interested PM me. In saying that, the coupler bushing isn't hard to replace and you can do it without disconnecting the joint from the firewall or rack if you're careful.

Yes I do and I can make one to supply but all risk to get it to the correct length will be on you - I can supply instructions however. PM me if you want to discuss further

@Autobahn I've updated the post with more details, PM me if you're keen. @ethane30 I've replied to your PM. Cheers

A long while back I picked up a purple tag rack that had a crack through the housing - as pictured. Over the last week I've put all the purple tag insides into an E36 housing I had lying around. Took the opportunity to check, clean, regrease all the seals before reassembly. Now it's done I don't actually need it, so rather than putting it back on the shelf I thought I'd offer it to Bimmersport peeps. Comes with the original purple tag as shown in photos and E36 inner tie rods and E46 outers. The only difference in housing between the e36 and e46 is the breather pipe across the top. Pickup Howick or can freight $25 to main centres. If wanted I can include all the E36 and E46 pieces not used.

Pulling out of storage this weekend, PM me if you're interested. Shipping from $25 (large / heavy). Cheers

UPDATED 29 APRIL 2024 Only offering 'Barina' style for E30’s as these have been the most reliable for my customers. Joint End Options: E30 : E30 - great to remove the 'guibo' from your E30 E30 : E36 / E46 - great for running a yellow/green/blue/purple tag steering rack in your car. Note: the steering rack end has not been modified in the pictured versions. All I need to know is The length of your existing steering joint (short or long) Spline size at each end (13mm/16mm or 16mm/16mm) - use a vernier caliper to measure accurately. $20 refund on exchange of your existing E30 steering joint! I've sold over 40 of these now both in NZ and overseas. All come with detailed instructions to install correctly, however with all steering and brake items these are at your risk. There are many shops selling 'racer products' universal steering joints however certifiers don't like them as they're often questionable quality metal. Using OEM parts in the above options reduces this issue and both options are collapsible unlike BMW options. Post $10 to main centres or $14 to RD's, fully tracked to your door. Barina style
