e90 steering ratio

e90dum · 01-30-2017, 11:52 PM

Hi, I don't know if this is an out there question, but is it possible to get a tighter steering ratio? Is this is a crazy question? I can't really find much on google for any car much less this one. like I feel like I'm going hand over hand like crazy if I'm going sideways at all. I'm wanting the steering wheel to move the move the wheels more than it currently is.

People have swapped in the M3 steering rack before.

Or replace your normal steering with active steering.
It changes the ratio after the speed.

Im sold. Does anyone know anything about getting servotronic working if i dont already have active steering? That sounds like the hard part

Or would active steering bolt right in? Im good with either option

Active steering is an expensive retrofit. You need the rack, power steering pump and the module for it.

Yea, the pump itself is like $1000 compared to a non-active steering pump which is more like $300 lol. The lines are different too.
