e70 M SPORT active steering issue, $5k repair!
The car is giving me active steering warning on the dash. My mechanic did a code scan and got code 6147 MOTOR BLOCKING. He brought it to BMW and was told that the rack is bad. The cost for the rack with active steering alone is a $4300!
I tried looking for a used part on Ebay but there aren't any available with active steering. With new parts and labor, i'm looking at a ~$5k repair, which is probably half the value of the car. Anyone have any suggestions on what I should do? 2011 E70 M SPORT w/ active steering 80k miles |

Yes, use car-parts.com and search for a salvage rack. This searches junk yards all across the country. Find the part number on real oem, then buy a salvaged unit and get it installed. The salvege unit will be cheaper.
What is the car doing that made you want to replace the rack? If it’s not too bad live with it, and sell it. |

Try one of remanufactured racks like this one, or just ask one of your parts shop to get you one of those.
