hi folks,

hope this is in the right place.

could anyone let me know the (visual) differences between an e30 m3 rear beam & that off a standard e30 (325i)??

been told the whereabouts of a (supposedly) e30 m3 rear beam for a very good price,

thing is how will i be able to tell the difference between a m3 & 325i rear beam?
i know the part numbers are different, but what do i look for if i can't find any part numbers??

T.I.A
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

AFAIK, a different position for the exhaust hanger threaded hole.

thats it? 8O looks like it might be coming home with me at the weekend then,

admittedly it's just a bare beam, but it has been cleaned up & painted & ready to go,

thanks for that :D

As Brian mentions the only difference is the exhaust hanger position and that there are two instead of one.
