Servotronic must be for moms at the mall or something, baffled as to the point of it.
Oh, and it looks like cost is about $2620 with a few hours of dealership labor at my discounted rate. Not bad.

I love the feel. Go for it. I wish I had done it sooner, but I only really replaced mine because it was leaking and I finally had enough of topping off the fluid lol... Power steering fluid is expensive.
Also, I saw you linked to an install thread. Just a note, I HAD TO break off the plastic tab on the rack. If I didn't, the rack would only have bolted up in a "clocked" orientation. I broke the tab off and mounted the rack at dead center of its range of movement. The steering wheel takes exactly 2.25 turns in either direction to full lock. Maybe 1-series needs to break the tab off to properly clock the rack and 3-series doesn't? I don't know for sure, but make sure you install the rack dead center or you'll hit full-lock quicker in 1 direction than the other lol....
Also, take this as an opportunity to installed some MYLE upgraded tie-rod ends. They are cheap enough and this is the ideal time to do it.
