Mounts will be present on the frame of the car,only 'better' E30 came equipped as standard.
I fitted one to my 2.7,which started life as a 3201SE.

M20 wise the 320 didn't have rear arbs, not even SE versions.
The 316s didn't and I believe the 318 was the same except for the Is.

this is interesting as i own a 1990 320i se and it has a antiroll bar 
!! might have being an aftermarket fitment but its well aged to the same exstent as all other parts under the car so it must have being fitted early on in its life

Well my 89 320i 4dr doesn't have one. I'm guessing those that did hav them were specced with 'm-tech' suspension from the factory? Does anyone have a complete list as above including all variants?
