Subject: Shop around for a 2nd opinion on the labor and parts Author: DavidC (moderator) : member since December, 2003 : 12932 posts Posted on: 2004-06-07 01:29:30

A new steering box will run about $500 plus labor. I know because I had to put one in my '86 735i. The cost of the power steering pump is something that I've not had to do (yet), thankfully. Maybe you can buy the parts less expensively online (see the list of vendors at www.e38.org).
