This part replaces BMW part number 32421740780 (32 42 1 740 780) and is described as our own Mounting Bracket for LF-30 power steering pump. This bracket is no longer supplied with any LF-30 pumps (Genuine, OEM, or aftermarket) and is unavailable from BMW. The original application (E36, E39), doesn't need a new bracket when one is already on the car. However, when retrofitting the LF30 to an E46 this bracket is essential.
