Hello to all! I am changing all parts of steering column except steering spindle. The problem is that BMW didn’t tell me the right part number for the steering spindle bearings. First I ordered 32311150601 but it was wrong (too large), then they suggested me to order part number 32311158686 but even this one is too large! They apologize and now I am waiting for a new answer since many days. In the photos, you can see the wrong parts and the right one, with the diameters. Any hint?

At last I found the right part number. In case it might interest someone else, it is 32311150054.

So is the last photo with the 32.2 the correct part? It's strange that realoem lists the part number ending in 50054 only for E12,E21,E23. Also says it supercedes part number 32311106604. Is the part you need for an E9?

Yes, the right one is the last one (diameter 32). The car is a 2800 cs MY1969. I know that it is strange, but consider that the 32mm bearing is the worn one fitted on the car, and that I have another steering column from a 2800 cs and this mounted same bearing, too!
