There are guides out there. Since E85 is based on E46 platform, it will gladly accept an E46 steering rack, hydraulic pump bolts straight to the engine, most of the hydraulic lines fit from some other BMWs and the hardest (and most expensive) part is connecting the steering column to the rack because you have to buy a $250 part from a Z4M.

Absolutely amazing car for travel with its dual trunk setup. Nice, roomy interior and quiet ride. The Z4 is also very comfortable to me. Lots more sound deadening. I had a lot of seat time in an NC PRHT and it was really loud in comparison to both the P-car and BMW. A lot less insulation.
Great stuff, thanks! That's what I imagined, Z4 can't possibly be as loud as an NC PRHT
