Re: e36 rack upgrade

so a clubsport rack is the same as an e46 compact rack. clubsport rack about 200 quid compact rack about 100 quid. insane

edit.

just read on another bmw forum that an e46 compact only has the same rack as a clubsport if the compact has sport suspension.

can anyone clarify this. cheers
