Steering ratio

03SG///M3 · 10-16-2007, 09:49 AM

Does anyone know the steering ratio of the E92 M3? Is is quicker than the E46 M3 CSL? I really hope so...

Search my son. It is everywhere.

03SG///M3 · 10-16-2007, 10:14 AM

I tried searching but couldn't find anything...

It's in the M3 press release which is easily findable.
Where did you search?

thanks for the link. I have found the steering ratio. Thanks for the help. Great news to hear it is so low... should be a blast to drive. The more direct the better for me.

We had this topic already (http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58411).
Here's the comparison with RS4's and C63's ratio:

M3 E92: 12.5:1
RS4: 13.1:1
C63: 13.5:1
M3 E46: 15.4:1

Best regards, south

That will be fun. Should also make the car a lot easier to catch and control.

Exactly. I like to know what the car is doing at all times especially when at the track.
