Would the rear wheel bearings from a 318i disk brake rear end fit a 320i disk brake rear end.

I've looked in the ETK and can't find out 100%

I have upgraded my rear drum 320i brakes with 324td disk brakes and the rear wheel bearings are definitely different. 324td ones are bigger. Hope this helps you!

I've got a 320i with rear disk brakes, the rear bearings are shagged. I can get my hands on some rear bearings for a 318i with rear disk brakes, will these bearings fit the 320i.

Forgot to put the 318i in the original post, what a plank I am :lol: Now edited

Cheers for the info on TD rear brakes.

Not at all sure , but AFAIK, all disc brake E30 rear suspension (except M3), is the same, give or take the odd ABS sensor ring.
