Wes its a 325 touring 90. I asked for 51mm. So your opinion is they are the wrong ones? The black ones are the original.

The old strut does not look a good fit to start with.

Hottuning is an internt company, they get their parts from and external supplier. Its the external supplier saying that they are the right ones, and would only send out the same again!.
Please note to all who read that Louise at hottuning has been very helpful and its not their fault.

They have supplied you the shocks for the 4cy E30 316/318i as they have 45mm struts.

The 318is, 320/325 have 51 mm struts.

It is an error done by Hottunings supplier.

As the E30 had 2 size's of Struts 45mm and 51 mm.

If hottuning need my help to confirm this I will gladly assist them to prove their supplier is indeed incorrect.

See this link to confirm the touring had 51mm struts not 45mm as supplied by hottunings supplier
