Genuine BMW part 32 31 1 159 160: Steering spindle upper. The number stamped on the part is 32311159160; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 1159160. You will find it on our Steering shelf, under Other Steering parts.

It fits every E36 body style (318i, 318ti, 320i, 323i and 325i, 1992–1999), with the M40, M42, M43, M44, M50 or M52 engines — and the European-market versions.

BMW draws it on 3 diagrams, among them Steer.Col.-Steer. Spin. Upper (32_0635) and Steer.Col.-Steer. Spin. Upper (32_0709). It weighs about 1.0 kg (2.2 lb).

We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
