Was looking at my project car last night, having a think why the ABS isn't working.. it's a 325i with an ABS system in the engine bay.

I noticed the nearside front hub has no hole for an ABS sensor.. and the rear offside has no ABS sensor installed.

e30's should have wheel speed sensors on all wheels right?!

correct! suggests someone's swapped over parts, either due to wear and tear or accident damage.

Yeah, I'm guessing they've swapped the whole hub/ strut assembly for whatever reason.

What models didn't come with ABS? As this front hub has no ABS sensor hole.!

ABS was only available on cars with rear discs, so AFAIK, 318i and 320i saloons wouldn't have had it.

Was it an option or standard equipment after a certain date? My 2.0 touring has rear discs but no ABS.
