did the 318is come with 45mm or 51 mm struts??

I'm pretty sure everything other than the 325i's and 320 cabs came with 45mm struts......

318is got the larger 51mm struts.

The i.s has 51mm struts

Perhaps it is easier to say that only saloon versions of 316,316i,318,318i,320i and 323i were fitted with 45mm front struts!

That is why the IS is a good base for a 24v conversion Ant, rear discs, sporty seats etc etc

Already had discs on my 320i se which baffeled me as I thought they didn't come standard with them

. Maybey last owner changed them or they were optioned when new?

Anyway only thing I need now is sport seats

Rear discs were fitted when ABS was ticked,I think.

Correct and ABS was standard on all 325i's from '86, all M3's and an option on every other E30, even 316's.

318is struts
