Hi, I have a 2013 bmw 328i f30 which has broken electric power steering. My power steering has lk written on it, and eBay wants $500 for a used one. My question is that I found rack pinions for $200 on eBay, but they all say lc on them instead of lk. They both have same connectors, but the connectors spread around eps motor differently. Would it work to buy the cheaper lc instead of lk? Thanks

What’s the part number on the LK?
Should be easy to go to realoem and search to see if the two are interchangeable.

Here are pictures of my rack pinion with numbers , I sadly don’t know how to look it up.

Did you ever get an answer to this? I'm having a hard time finding out what will interchange and what will not.

I recently destroyed the electric motor on mine with a floor jack, and looking at these part numbers, it's impossible for me to tell which rack I could buy that has the same motor.
