hi does anyone now what size the front struts are on a 1989 320i cab.

i'm pretty sure all 6cyl had 51mm struts

no, the 320's didn't - cab's, tourers, iS's & 2.5's possibly early 323's all do - with the exeption of 4 pot cabs/tourings

It should have 51mm struts. All cabby's as well as touring's have 51mm struts and rear disc brakes regardless of engine size.

that clears that up then..

Cabs, Tourings, 325's iS's and poss 323's

I'm winning against the loom Imys

That's factory spec, could have anything on it now after 15 years Best bet is to measure up what's fitted now.

All cabs have the larger 51mm struts.

I've not dabbled with m40 cabs/tourings

As stated above already

Done mate

Quick question,any advantage having the 51mm struts? as i have a320i which has the smaller struts,looking to refurb the suspension over the winter so wondering whether to get these before i start.

More range of shocks, Bilstiens B12's, B8's and B6's, and a choice of springs too

+ do the job a little better then wobbly 45's
