couple more questions,.

[mrrodney]

i went to fit my 325 front legs on the 318 today and 1 of the spring cups has rotted through,

is the discs and calipers a straight bolt on to the 318 legs??

also i noticed after my doner car had gone that the 325 loom plug is different to the 318 plug , is this just a case of rewiring it to the old plug?

if so is it a colour for colour job or if not has anyone got a diagram of what i need to wire to where??

thanks people,.

You will find all of your answers in the Wiki. For starters, the loom plug is known as the C101:

If you've managed to find an engine so old that it has the old rectangular plug on it, it will have an equally ancient management system and ECU attached to it.
You best plan of action would be to upgrade with a M1.3 system and loom from a later 320 or 325, which will give some real gains over your existing steam driven ECU.

Discs and calipers will fit on 318i front legs just fine.

cheers people , the 325 is a auto from a 86 car, mines a 85 i think ,

ill look into it a bit more tomorow in daylight,.

the guide in the wiki shows a square and a round plug , both plugs are round that i have but are different,.

[Brianmoooore]

Only one type of round C101 plug was fitted to E30s. Athough the number of pins in use can vary, the plugs are all identical.

ok ill pull the plug and double check it,.
