Restore the factory power steering performance of your BMW with this new pump from Bremmen. Over time, factory pumps can develop internal wear, leading to a "heavy" steering wheel, annoying whining noises during low-speed maneuvers, or unsightly fluid leaks on your driveway.

This Bremmen unit is a cost-effective, high-quality alternative to expensive genuine pumps, engineered to provide the consistent hydraulic pressure required to keep your steering smooth, predictable, and responsive.

Features and Benefits:

Manufactured to match original equipment specifications for a seamless, "no-headache" installation.

Features premium internal seals and bearings to ensure a long, leak-free service life and whisper-quiet operation.

Designed to handle the high heat and rigorous pressure cycles of spirited daily driving.

Provides the same flow rate and pressure as the factory unit to maintain original steering rack feel.

Critical Installation Notes:

This is a standalone pump unit. It does not come with mounting brackets. You must reuse your existing factory brackets and hardware for installation.

To protect your new pump and maintain your warranty, it is highly recommended to perform a complete power steering system flush. Replacing the reservoir (which contains a non-serviceable internal filter) and using fresh fluid is essential to prevent old contaminants from damaging the new internals.

Restore your driving experience and get rid of that power steering whine with this reliable Bremmen replacement.

This is a replacement power steering fluid reservoir. Why replace the reservoir? Because the connection between the reservoir tank and the hoses is one of the prime locations for power steering leaks on these cars. It's mostly due to the style of clamp that BMW used. But also any replacement clamps are usually over-tightened on these plastic reservoir nipples. There is also a filter inside the reservoir that cannot be changed or serviced. So it's a good idea to replace the tank and get a new filter at the same time. With fresh fluid and a clean filter you might be able to restore some steering smoothness and precision to your BMW! Alternate part number - 32416851217. Reservoir includes new cap with o-ring.

Steering racks are the core component of rack-and-pinion steering controls. Gears, or pinions, slide back and forth on a toothed steering rack, which correspondingly turns the wheels. Most steering racks can last 150,000 miles, but wear and tear do take their toll. Symptoms of impending failure may include vibration, dead zones in steering range, steering stutter, and a grinding noise when turning. If you have noticed any of the symptoms, your steering rack may be viable for replacement. Includes inner tie rods. Includes a $97.50 refundable core charge - core charge issued upon return of rebuildable core.

Tie rods in your vehicle transfer steering input from the steering wheel through the rack to the wheels. As mileage increases, tie rod ends often wear out, leading to loose steering, as well as knocking and creaking noises in the steering system. If a tie rod end fails completely, it can result in significant damage and pose serious safety risks, as it plays a crucial role in maintaining proper wheel alignment and direction.
