If your power steering pump is going out, your car will be stiff and harder to maneuver especially at low speeds. We recommend replacing your pump as soon as symptoms arise to avoid complications in the rest of your steering system, mainly the rack, caused by lack of fluid and presssure.
A well-known issue with the N54 (and early N55) with Hydraulic power steering is the plastic pulley either hitting the subframe or simply breaking on its own. This can cause the belt to be ejected from the pulley, and leave you stranded with no serpentine belt. To top it off, if you continue to run the vehicle with the belt off, you also have a good chance of sucking the belt into the engine through the front seal. Put an end to the dreaded plastic Power Steering pulley issues with Vargas' 100% Billet Aluminum PS pulley. VTT makes these from 6061-T6 aluminum and anodizes them in one of 4 colors (Black, Red, Blue, and Clear) for a great look and long-lasting finish. These weigh 11Oz, very close to the weight of a stock pulley, and are lighter than the cast aluminum versions on the market.

Condor was the first to bring the power steering delete to the market. Don't settle for reproductions. A simple yet effective way to remove your power steering and loop the steering rack, allowing fluid and air to continually circulate within. their popular power-steering delete is machined from a solid block of aluminum. If you've already removed your power steering, this is a great way to stop any unwanted leaks from the "hose mod". The reason you need a power-steering delete that actually loops the two banjo bolts is to not only to let any residual fluid pass from one side of the rack to the other but also to let the air inside flow freely from one side to the other. Without this pass-through, you will be compressing the air inside of your rack on each side when you turn the wheel, making it harder to steer, and eventually blowing out the seals. Condor's deletes work better because they have two passages allowing the fluid/air to flow freely. Installation is simple. You will need to remove the stock reservoir, power steering pump, and all hoses. Keep the stock banjo bolts and use our new washers to bolt it into place. Pros: Tighter more responsive steering. Better road feel/feedback Cons: Harder steering at speeds below 15mph Includes: Aluminum Power steering Delete 4 new washers Works with: 6/1986-1991 E30 BMW 325e 325es 325i 325ic 325is 325ix M3 1990-1991 E30 BMW 318i 318is 318ic 1992-1998 E36 BMW 318i 318is 318ti 318ic 323is 323ic 325i 325is 325ic 328i M3 1997-2002 Z3 BMW Z3 1.9 Z3 2.3 Z3 2.5i Z3 2.8 Z3 3.0i M Roadster M Roadster 1997 - 2006 E46 BMW 316i 318i 318ci 320i 320ci 323i 323ci 325i 325ci 328i 328ci 330i 330ci M3 2004 - 2013 E90/E91/E92/E93 BMW 316i 318i 320i 320si 323i 325i 328i 330i 335i 335is M3 2006 - 2008 Z4 BMW M Roadster only
