suspension

[aceifty]

hi does anyone now what size the front struts are on a 1989 320i cab.

[riklusby]

i'm pretty sure all 6cyl had 51mm struts

[Barx325i]

no, the 320's didn't - cab's, tourers, iS's & 2.5's possibly early 323's all do - with the exeption of 4 pot cabs/tourings

[ImysE30]

It should have 51mm struts. All cabby's as well as touring's have 51mm struts and rear disc brakes regardless of engine size.

[Barx325i]

that clears that up then..

Cabs, Tourings, 325's iS's and poss 323's

I'm winning against the loom Imys

[ImysE30]

That's factory spec, could have anything on it now after 15 years Best bet is to measure up what's fitted now.

[Rav335uk]

All cabs have the larger 51mm struts.

[Barx325i]

I've not dabbled with m40 cabs/tourings

[ImysE30]

As stated above already

[Rav335uk]

As stated above already

That was for Barclay

[Barx325i]

think your sig needs updating Rav

....the bottom bit, I'm not dissing your quote, although it has been on for a while

[Rav335uk]

Done mate

[kevyd]

Quick question,any advantage having the 51mm struts? as i have a320i which has the smaller struts,looking to refurb the suspension over the winter so wondering whether to get these before i start.

[Rav335uk]

More range of shocks, Bilstiens B12's, B8's and B6's, and a choice of springs too

[Barx325i]

+ do the job a little better then wobbly 45's
