My car has a servotronic box.

I just wanted to confirm that:

1. The steering box on a CSi is faster lock then the normal servo box on a 97 840Ci.

2. I can swap the CSi block onto my 97 840Ci (which has servotronic) without any customization/fabrication.

Thanks for your help!

I beleive it is plug and play...
Jim and I just happen to have such a box lying around, that came out of the EURO car we stripped this weekend.

Yup, I am *hopefully* buying said box for my 8! :cool Jim and I are exchanging emails as we speak. (type?)

Also, I noticed the CSi boxes have different control modules. I assume it also needs to be swapped at the same time.

Hi, will that fit a 1990 850i?

yes, the connector is there, you just need the steering box and the servotronic module...
