E30 316 1988 Exhaust size

Hi everyone
I was wondering if anyone knew what pipe size my exhaust would be? It's a 316 carb. As I'm wanting to buy an aftermarket centre section. This is because my cars so low it scrapes over bumps. But I don't know what inch my pipe is?

Thanks in advance

Re: Can the mpg gauge be fixed easily on an e30?

Thank you for your response, Yeah everything else works in my cluster, but the temperature gauge is temperamental, but a quick tap on the dash and it reconfigures The mpg gauge upon starting the car jumps from 0 to full, then back down to 0 when driving, does the si board have separate batteries? So...

Re: Resetting service light? Adapter?

Sorry i haven't worded my question properly,

Re: Resetting service light? Adapter?

Thank you everyone!! I'm scared I might not locate the right pin haha

But would this tool work with an obd2 port possibly? As I might need it for other early bmws like e36 etc

Re:

Andysheep your e30 sounds mega! OMG! Hopefully one day I'll be able to get a 5 stud conversion, the availability of alloys!

Ross jsy oh dear I should have really asked before buying them ahaha. Mines a 1989. I think coilovers would have been an easier and safer option :/

Re:

Haha thank you! Nah it's all good, I can't really say otherwise as I was lowering for the sole appearance. Not ride qualify

Just slightly concerned that 17" might not fit with a 60mm drop as I have stretched tyres at the back but I don't really want to roll arches as they might disintegrate

Re:

Thank you all! I appreciate it!
I only use the car for like commuting here and there. I just use it for posing tbh

I might just use them on standards and when it's unbareable I'll get better shocks

Thanks again

Lowering e30 coupe by 60mm

Hi, was after some advice before fitting my lowering springs. Would it be safe, and has anyone had any experience of lowering 60mm all round on standard shocks?

I've got 17" alloys on atm with 205/45/17
