Hi, I’m looking to carry out this conversion on my e85 M54 engine, but the pictures are not available. Does anyone have this full thread or know of another with all of the part numbers and instructions? I have tried to find a specialist to do this but no one wants to.

Better look at this thread Michael, viewtopic.php?t=118282&hilit=power+steering+conversion For the intermediate shaft which is the biggest problem viewtopic.php?p=2005408#p2005408 https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/show ... c-Steering

These are the only pictures I have of the conversion. The yellow shaft is the Z4M but the recess for the input shaft is thinner

If you speak to usel, he is now modifying intermediate shafts to suit this conversion.

You are welcome Mike. Just bear in mind the MPG does take a little hit. The original car that I converted did about 60000 miles on the conversion before being written off.
