Just out of curiosity has anyone used an alternative to the oem bmw high pressure power steering hose for the pump to rack assembly. I brought the car into fields bmw in northfield, il. for a free car care service clinic whereby a bmw tech looked over the car while I had a sandwhich, soup and something to drink on their dime. The results came back that the car is in excellent condition, but they found a leak/light weeping from that hose. A quick lookup at ecs tuning and the oem is $235 whereas a rein brand is $117. I also saw ebay had another brand name of burgos which was @ the same as the rein brand aftermarket in price. I would prefer buying the hose and taking it to my bmw independent mechanic instead of getting shafted at the dealer. Thanks. Any input would be appreciated!
