looks like they put them into their lower lineup in europe.
here is the part number
32106872479

And it looks like they are inexpensive, some going for under $150 shipped:

Those are all RHD.

The LHD part # matches the Z4 # and is $1200-1800 new or about $700 used.

LHD: 32106872478


Looks to be for euro cars, but 32106874244 that @NoQuarter shared seems to be the newest part number.

Z4 parts used from wrecked cars should be at a good price - no market for the stuff. People can dream all day long on their value ... not squat as no buyers.

Now we just got to figure out where they get thier signal from.

Dyezack when are you going to be trying to do this?

Also with the PS pump out of the way, that might be a good place to mount an additional HPFP. That will be a perfect solution for the Xi and Active Steering guys who can't run VTT shotgun.

hola, estoy cambiando a n54 mi e92 n53, y el e92 aqui en españa, en mi carro tengo stock de eps, tendre problemas para hacerlo andar con el n54?

i was looking the wiring diagram and i think that if i use my stock body electronic components, like fuse box, i will no have problem, no?

has someone done the opposite?
ditch the electric one and put hydro ?

Was really hoping someone was able to pull this off on a 335i. I've gotta replace my leaky rack and was hoping there was an electric solution by now

What is the belt setup of the Z4 E89 in terms of routing? Is anything else different such as pulley size, or alternator positioning?
