thanks mate,

if my rear box was like that it would fit great,

the pipes on mine are in centre of box not to the left like yours.

which do i have then? 2 piece or 3 piece rear box?

Sounds like you have one from a pre-facelift car dude.

the centre section on mine is way longer and has a silencer in as well.

early cars had 3 peice, later cars had 2 piece system?

i have 86 325i but with m-tech 2 kit which do i need the centre section fits fine so does rear box but not with bumper on lol

I think yours should be a 2 piece system. The front section usually has the other silencer.

Yours is definately a pre facelift car being an 86 and would have probably had an mtech 2 kit modded to fit.

I hate exhausts, they're never straight forwards and there seems to be unlimited strange combinations on E30's.

its been a pain to fit, missing exhaust brackets...
had to weld the bracket with captive nut to the rear subframe as that wasn`t there :mad: then buy the bracket, bolts and rubbers from bmw,
then i only had one rear box bracket so had to buy one from bmw and weld it on, then i had to order the large scorpion oval brackets from motech.
only to find when i offered up the bumper that the pipes are about an inch too far over to the right :cry:

so not sure what to do now...

the centre section fits fine, will a later rear box fit my centre section? or do i have to fit whole new exhaust? :cry:
