Different question - What is the set up brakes/suspension on a 320I cabby. Are they disk or drum?

All cabs, petrol engined tourings, 318iS , and the 325i saloon (sport or otherwise) have essentially the same suspension and disc brakes all round.
It's only poverty specced, smaller engined saloons that have the inferior bits

I just answered this in another of your posts.

Discs all round, large ARB.s and 51mm struts.

I didn't think that it worked in the other post as my comp froze, I thought you meant a diff old post where someone mentioned the cabby set up.

Did you change the shaft and diff or was it ok

Changed the Diff to a largecase, as the 320i comes with a smallcase 4.27 diff, no good for a M30.
Driveshafts stayed as they are the same on most.

HTH :cool:
