How is this possible?

This part is on back order for more than 3 months...WTF?

Part #: 32-30-6-763-722-M26

 

Try Detroit tuned.....they have it available for right hand drive cars but can be modified for our cars.

 

+1
Mini has stated that the right hand drive will be the only ones made....so you must modify them to install them in right hand drive cars....there is a SB on how to do this.

Interesting. Thanks for the info!

 

It's telling when they've already brought in engineers to craft a service note about using up right hand drive spindles. I have a strange feeling this is part going to be NLA.

Back order pfft MINI just wants us all to buy new MINI's

 

We have it here, 32306763727 is the RHD version that can be used in LHD ( US ) MINIs with a couple quick steps.

32306763722 was on BO and then came available , but quickly sold out and was for down vehicles only. We don't have eta on the new ~722 , but we do have the ~727 part above. So you can get your MINI fixed and the steering column working right again.

Thanks .

 

*** when the lower steering assemblies are swapped out, the lower bolt and nylock nut needs to be changed too ! The new lower steering shafts are set up for right hand drive, so you have to remove steering wheel and re-center it along with having an alignment done.....( it's off by about 30 degrees ) There is a BMW bulletin on it.

 

I waited from April until mid September then Mini of Ann Arbor Michigan replaced mine.
It works great now so they are available.
