• preservation of the standard power steering and steering resistance characteristics,
• compatibility with the factory steering system control,
• reduction of the risk of calibration problems after installation,
• consistency with other BMW chassis components.

Thanks to this, the driver receives predictable, repeatable vehicle reactions, which is particularly important in a model with a sporty character like the X1 F48.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered steering rack motor is a used element, sourced from dismantling, which allows for combining an attractive cost with the preservation of the original BMW specification. This type of part is a good choice for repairs where fitment to a specific version of the steering system is crucial, while budget control is also important.

A used OEM component from the Steering gears and housings group is a solution often preferred by workshops specializing in the BMW brand, due to the predictability of installation and the lack of necessity to adapt replacements with a different design.
