How about ringing Borgeson or their agents?
I could understand asking a forum if it was after hours and you needed an urgent answer but after a month? Call them.
I pulled the trigger on most of my parts.

I'm confused. The thread title refers to a 2018 BMW M3, but your thread post says new M3.
Also, why compare a two door car to a four door car? How about compare the '71 RR to a 2024 BMW M2?
More parts have arrived... and a new exhaust. This is much better than the rotted out single oem exhaust. Picked up a Borgeson steering box from Peter Bergman with his adapter. This should get the steering feel dealt with. Just waiting on the rear anti-roll bar from Firm Feel and I can start...
Thats 10.5cm
My coupler is 12.3cm, so if I used your coupler then it would not sit at the same location as the original did.
(I measured my original box with original coupler. Distance from firewall.
My Borgeson with my longer coupler sits at exactly the same location.)
I put the original roll pin in the original hole, just to get the clamp to line up better.
The roll pin in the pic is in a new hole, on the opposite side of the allen set screw.
This new roll pin take advantage of the groove in the Borgeson splines.
Double secure. :thumbsup:
I did this swap on my 68 Charger back in 2015. I bought the Borgeson gear along with the Bergman coupler. No cutting the steering shaft unless you have a manual steering column. The Borgeson box is smaller and about an inch shorter than the factory PS gearbox. The Bergman coupler is fabricated...
One step forward and two steps back.
The Borgeson box does not sit at the same location as the original box.
So now my sector support is off about 1cm.
Time for some coffee and think about what the solution will be. (I do not want to drill in my K-member again.)
Edit: Does anyone here that...
...It can break an arm or fingers if the pressure valve is not centered. A factory service manual is your friend here. If you can't live with the right / left play, you may have to upgrade to a Borgeson steering gear. They are spendy but IMO well worth the money and will give you a new car feel.
In case anyone else follows up on this, I see that TTI now offers another part number header to work with the Borgeson steering box in this combination. :)
I've been giving some consideration to the Borgeson retrofit power steering box, but it requires shortening the steering shaft itself, which is not something I am really keen on. Whenever I change something on my '67 J-code car I only do it if I can put it back to original, and with the orginal...
I am in the middle of a Borgeson steering install on my 66 Charger. When I pulled the Steeering Column out I discovered the P O or someone has performed some wire splices on the old wiring harness. Im wondering if anyone is making a repop of this harness. I hate having to solder repair splices...
