Power Steering Popped on V-Day... what a great present
Just a view of the old on the left and the new on the right... apparently these pumps failing is pretty common. BMW in March of 2001 updated the pump from the LF-20 to the LF-30. Reason behind it is that drivers were complaining about the increase effort on steering... so in solution BMW developed a higher pressure pump, the LF-30. Some enthusiasts still desire the LF-20 for the tighter steering feel... i feel the same way. Never the less these buggers are not cheap $550 for the pump alone
