I'm just doin the m52 conversion which for the majority of its life will be on the road not track and it's come to upgrading the rack, I've got the e36 328i rack but is it worth putting the e46 one on or stick with the e36 one?

I did some reading last night and I came up with this:
- purple tag ending 67
- purple tag ending 678
- yellow tag ending 712
Looks like they are from facelift 330ci.
All are much improved compared to stock.

They were known as "Clubsport" racks and cost a premium because of it but the rack seems to be fitted to anything, mine I think came from a diesel.

I've found a purple tag rack cheap but the numbers are Part numbers (on the metal plate) -1 096 908 & 7852 974 491
Would this fit?

All e46 racks will fit, but not all of them are quick ones.
