Can someone tell me if this amount of play is normal?
When I move this much, there is absolutely no movement on the wheels.

  • Yes that is normal, seen it on good cars and my own! but mine is vauge like yours is!

  • @bmwe46guru Thanks! I'm changing the Lower coupler (u joint) next week...I hope it fixes 75%. cheers

  • No it is not normal just look at this watch?v=mW46OW9w2kA

  • @kentau123 Thanks for the answer! Nice video buddy! cheers

  • @venceslau86 Did you solve the problem?

  • @kentau123 yeah...I ended up changing the steering rack and coupling though...(but I think the true problem was with the inner tie rods...). I installed my new rack as a whole assembly...tie rods and everything..

  • I have an E46 330i and the only performance item I have is the Signature Motoring performance CAI for about $160. The performance kit adds around 13.5HP on the dyno, sounds freaking great, and installs in under 30 minutes. Highly recommended.

    -13.5 HP increase

    -Lifetime filter

    -SOUND AWESOME

    -30 min. install time

    Aside from the power gain, the SOUND is amazing at higher RPM but sounds normal in regular driving. I’m thinking about added high-flow exhaust next.

  • @venceslau86 Steering rack is a big problem of All BMWs, as well as electrics and electronics suspension, cooling system, fuel systems ... ooopppsss let me stop here

  • The E46 looks much more robust than the E36 IMHO. I would put in the Signature Motoring performance intake kit for only around $150 and gain up to 13HP on the stock output for the 330i and a bit less for the 325 and 328. I highly recommend this item, see my youtube channel for the action video on it.

    -Installs in round 45min.

    -Guaranteed HP increase

    -Induction sound to die for

    -Awesome fit/finish.

    See my video of how it sounds AND performs!
