Hi guys,

need a little help- does the compact use the same caliper and carrier as the normal e36?

I've manage to damage the thread in one of my carriers and need one pronto.

Cheers

They're not the same - but there are a lot of compacts in scrapyards these days so you shouldn't have any problems sourcing a replacement.

It's a 318ti.

Is an e30 carrier the same?
