Power Steering Pump - use of cheaper replacement.

[Adaasko]

Hi guys - own a late 2011 M3 E92 which I belive should have Late (002) PSP with longer belt but still, pump seems to be on the way.

Steering feels stiff in low rpm, and before I installed extra little tank, spillage happens - pump or tank issue?

if pump?

checked on Autodoc - and aliexpres and seems like you can have anything from 80 Euro new up to rougly 450 Euro for New ZF - Bosch also offers like 4 different numbers... anyone have expreience with something cheaper than OEM which is about 700 Euro?

Thank you guys.

Went with BOSCH, which came - ZF as its same shit. Works well.

lack of info probably wont help future users much.

if you have it, include part numbers and perhaps photos of the old/new pumps, that would make it useful for future users who find this thread.

as these cars get older, I suspect this will become more of an issue.

Agreed.


Please share as much as you can. I know I would appreciate it as i've been running the wrong PS fluid for 3k miles now and am expecting the pump or rack to go any day.
