Description
About this part
Genuine BMW lower steering column joint assembly (double universal joint with flex disc), pulled from an E46 3 Series AWD (xi) model.
Fits
2001-2003 BMW 325xi (AWD, through 11/2003 production)
2001-2003 BMW 330xi (AWD, through 11/2003 production)
This is the AWD-specific lower steering shaft joint – it is not the same part as the RWD 325i/328i/330i lower steering joint. A production change occurred in November 2003 that superseded this part number; always confirm your vehicle’s production date against this listing before ordering.
Does not fit
RWD (non-xi) E46 325i/328i/330i models, or xi models built from 11/2003 onward (a later revision part number applies).
Check this before you order
Confirm your BMW is an AWD (xi) model and check your production date – this exact part number was superseded in November 2003. If you have your old joint in hand, compare it to the photos before ordering to guarantee a match.
Condition
Used, functional condition consistent with age – normal surface wear and light surface corrosion typical of a used steering component. No excessive play felt in the joints.
What is included
One (1) lower steering shaft joint assembly as pictured.
Why used OEM
A genuine used OEM steering joint restores factory fit and steering feel without the loose/notchy feel sometimes reported with aftermarket reproduction joints.
