There is no "one is best", everything is personal opinion. Everyone is going to say something is better than the other but that doesn't mean it's the best for you
@The Masked Driver yeah you're right it's my first car so I've just been trying to ask friends with them for advice but I've noticed we're building them with very different intentions but I appreciate u helping me make a decision
No problem! Asking friends or asking the community is great and one of the best tools for learning...besides youtube lol...if your friends will let you drive their cars with different racks that would be the best option to feel the difference rather than someone saying one is better with no explanation or saying because it's 2.8 lock to lock its better than 3.2 lock to lock but you might like the feel of thr 3.2 lock to lock more than the 2.8 lol
I got the purple rack from a 330ci that I swapped into my e46 wagon , seeking the best for my applied use for it which is for drifting , would I want to go z3 or rebuild my purple tag ?! Thanks in advance
I have a purple tag in my 330ci and a green tag in my M3. I definitely notice that the Purple tag is quicker to turn on centre. Which I initially preferred to the M3’s. But after taking both on track, I think the Green tag is better, at very high speeds, the purple tag is very twitchy in comparison to the green.
Looking for good strong advice. I have a track built but streetable e30 M53 w/S53 crank running 225s. Volvo electric power steering pump. It has some freeway time but mostly canyon type and track driving. Leaning toward the yellow. I’d love to hear this communities thought. Videos are absolutely amazing. Love the education.
Excellent comparison, thanks for your work @themaskeddriver actually demonstrating the differences! Curious though, does the yellow tag 712 rack have a slight detent on-center? Perhaps is that the 'sweet-spot' you're referring to? I've got one sitting on my workbench cleaned up and ready to go into my M3, and I noticed that when moving by hand it feels like there's a slight notch in the motion when on center. I cleaned the grease off and shined a light down the side closest to the pinion. You can clearly see the pinion turning, and then right at center the torsion bar moves toward the pinion maybe somewhere between 1 and 1.5 millimeters. You can see the thrust bushing/spring moving down a little as well (as it's spring tension pushes from the backside of the torsion bar). I've marked the distance where the mating area is on the bar, and there aren't any visual anomalies or differences tooth pitch in that area. This MAY be normal.. I'm just not sure. The rack feels tight otherwise with zero play, but wanted to confirm before installing.
Appreciate the kind words. The "sweet spot" is only a progressive rack thing as in the 95 m3 is progressive and has a "sweet spot" in the center while driving and harder to turn on the outside. The yellow tag is linear and feels the same throughout the whole rack. Unfortunately i didn't feel any "detent" in the center of the rack
@@themaskeddriver Well I ended up buying another 712 to compare against -- and both torsion bars seem to deflect a little bit coming off center. Basically, with your eyes-closed, rotating the input shaft by hand lock to lock, you can feel where center is on both racks. The first one I bought is just a bit more pronounced I'd say. This tells me that I'm probably over-thinking it and should just go with the rack that has the cleanest looking teeth.
Awesome, great video! Thanks for putting the time/effort in to fit and try each rack. I'm planning to do a similar swap on my E30 soon and really its between the Z3 and the Purple tag rack for me. I've had a purple tag swapped E30 before and liked it, an amazing upgrade versus stock. On paper the Z3 rack seems like a small improvement on that if you want as quick a rack as you can get. I'll be interested to see your thoughts on these racks when they're hooked up to a pump, I have a suspicion they'll vary again in how they feel. Cheers!
Since my e30 is still going to be a little while before it's up and running. I'm currently looking for another e30 to buy to do the testing. I didn't plan on hooking them up to power steering but ill consider it when it comes time to test them all
Sweet video! Really interested to see the e46 video, didn’t think there was little difference going from the blue (3.2 turns) to purple/yellow (3turns). Curious to hear whether or not there’s enough of a difference to make it worth doing this when my rack isn’t in need of repair/refurb
There is a few differences between all the e36 models. 95 M3 3.0 turns lock-to-lock 96+ M3/MZ3 3.2 turns lock-to-lock Z3 2.8 turns lock-to-lock 325 3.4 turns lock-to-lock 328 3.2 turns lock-to-lock
Dedication right here. I have a z4 in mine as it was non assisted from the factory being a Spanish market car. I guess that is common over there. Anyway you said it was lighter than the other racks? I thought it would be the opposite.
I just completed your awesome video. Any of you guys recommend thats a balance of both light and smooth rack. I have an e30 running stock m42 motor just want a fun daily and occasional canyon drive any recommendations? Everyone always tell me to get the z3 rack. Whats your thoughts?
Daily driving rack I recommend the e36 m3 96+ rack. Best bang for the buck upgrade. After than usual I recommend either a yellow or purple tag steering rack. They are a little heavier feeling compared to the e36 m3. The z3 rack I don't usual recommend for a daily driver as, I personally think, it's a little to aggressive. It's a great canyon rack. You just have to pay a little bit more attention when driving especially on the freeway at speed because if you jerk the wheel at all with a z3 rack. It's going in that direct immediately
To switch to a z3 rack do u have to do any upgrades or changes to fit the z3 rack and will it change where my wheels sit for example will it rub once i switch to a z3 rack?
If you have a e30 non airbag car. You need rack spacers and an lspr linkage or modify you stock linkage. If you have an e30 airbag car. You need rack spacers and firewall plate. You will need to trim firewall slightly. For e36 it's a direct swap. Everything available on rageitparts.com
My standard 328i rack feels so heavy when I turn. If I upgrade to one of these will it feel lighter? And if so which one do you recommend not sure which to go for. Thanks
No it should feel normal. You shouldn't need to be tugging if your power steering is working. You should be able to two finger or palm the wheel for a U turn
Are this steering racks can fit into an old e36 96 sedan without any modification?? I wanna try the purple tag rack because my friend told me that the best rack for e36
You have to use the z4 linkage for the bottom. I have to double check if the e36 steering column uses the same splines as e30. Also work on a better solution than just modify the factory linkage
I read a forum that 713 was racks rebuilt by bmw but not really sure and the forum didn't go anywhere. I wouldn't risk it depending on price better to get a rack that is correct that is 712
Hey I was watching your older videos and I just finished a z3 rear end swap, I’m noticing that the wheels stick out extremely far, what did you do to tuck them in the fender
There is a another option with e36 compact parts, i think the 323ti hub stands out the most if i recall correctly. There is a lot of stuff about 5 lug swaps here in germany
Hey man I have a question I’m new in the BMW community and I’m planning on changing my steering rack on my e36 but I’m curious when you did the test of all the racks what steering shaft you used the same for all of them? Or did you swapped the shafts too?
So for your e36 you can use the factory linkage for all the racks. Only e30s do you need to modify the linkage. I did use an aftermarket linkage for the rack swaps in my e30
So the z4 is the only exception to all the racks. I am working on a solution for that. You cannot use the factory linkage with a z4 rack. For the time being you will need to modify a factory z4 linkage to work. Like I said working on a better solution, hopefully available soon!
@@themaskeddriver ok I knew that the Z4 rack where the shaft goes is thicker than the other racks but I wanted to make sure with your experience,thanks again!!
I currently have a Z4 rack at my shop. The splined shaft for the steering shaft is larger OD than E46 and other racks. I'm curious, didn't you notice this? How did your steering shaft fit? I'm amidst a hydraulic steering conversion for a Z4, stuck on what steering shaft besides Z4M I can use.
Yes it is. I used a modified z4 steering linkage. Factory z4 linkage is too long but has the splines for the rack and the splines for the e30 column. The linkage needs to be shortened but I am working on an aftermarket solution
@@elia0390Installed a z4 rack in my e30. You need e36 tie rods, and you have to shorten the z4 steering linkage I also had to make a slit in the steering shaft from the car to get the bolt of the linkage trough. I can send you a picture of how long the shaft needs to be.

@@themaskeddriver i mean does it make the car turner better, while spirited driving? And is it better as a daily. Fx shock absobers are a good investment and while driving. So i thought, will a different steering rack add better driving? Hobe it makes sense, sry if i dont. :)
Now my first question is, since I'm in the US, did yours come with a 3.2ish turn lock to lock rack? Most e36 people when they go to change the rack usually upgrade to a e46 yellow or purple rack
So such thing as "best". Every rack has different characteristics. E36 m3 96+ might be preferred over a e46 yellow or purple tag. But yes a yellow or purple is a great upgrade if your looking for something more
I have the slr version. E36 m3 racks are a little more lock to lock then z4 and e46. Z4 and e46 being the same lock to lock. I don't have the exact ratios for the e36 or z4 but it's possible. Lock to lock are the same but ratios might be different. Making one slightly faster than the other
what about E46 M3 rack? im currently swapping my 330ci (with 712 yellow tag rack) with a complete E46 drivetrain, I was thinking about swapping the whole subframe assembly with engine, suspension, steering rack, spindles etc. I am wondering if the M3 rack would feel any better or identical to my current 712 rack, or maybe should i just keep the 712 rack?
@reda19891 e46 m3 is a down grade from the 712 rack and why I didn't include it on the list and most people will swap to a yellow or purple tag rack and get rid of their m3 rack
I just tried my e46 318 from 2005 and its 2,7 rounds...and ive been searching such rack for so long...and ive had one all this time... :D i just have switch these two rack, faster to my race car e36, and slower to my daily driver. how is this possible, i have bmw z3 rack in my small engine e46? 😮

Yes I wouldn't say it was the lightest of all of them but different up there. It all has to do with the ratios in the rack.

My standard 328i rack feels so heavy when I turn. If I upgrade to one of these will it feel lighter? And if so which one do you recommend not sure which to go for. Thanks
I'd start by making sure your power steering system is working properly and then go from there

Correct no modifications needed for install in an e36
How did you manage to instal the steering connector for the z4? My z4 rack seems too big for the one on my e36
You have to use the z4 linkage for the bottom. I have to double check if the e36 steering column uses the same splines as e30. Also work on a better solution than just modify the factory linkage

what inner and outer tierods are best to use ? don’t want to add camber or anything like that
I used e36 m3 inner and outer. But you can use e30 inner and outer or e46 inner and outer I believe. Tierods don't effect camber
What are the specs on the z3 rack needed, off of what z3 is it come off of?
There is a few parts numbers that work...not just based on a specific model. Although most people say they come from 1.9 z3
Bolt paterns are same on e36 and e46?
If you mean splines the yes. E30/z3/e46/e36 all have the same spline and mounting points. Z4 has the same mounting points but different splines
Great info thank you.
Do you do work on other E30s or just yours?
Mostly my own but sometimes I take in others projects
