Hi everyone

I know this has been asked a million times, but I have bought an 1987 D Reg 318i Automatic Saloon in Emerald Green.

Before I collect it, I wanted to get the coilovers ordered but I dont know if I can order the 51mm strut insert versions.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Its the version with 1775cc, 105bhp, 3 speed auto

Thanks guys

If this still has the struts it left the factory with, they will be the smaller 45mm version, and the larger inserts won't fit.
