I need a new drivers side rear caliper for my 318is (1990) as i have snapped the bleed nipple, I would like to know what models share the same calipers to make it easier to hunt down a replacement.
Any advice appreciated
Thanks Dave

Any E30 rear calliper except for Touring and M3.

Are you sure the caliper is ruined just because of a bleed nipple? I've found that you can hammer a Torx bit into the remnants and screw them out that way to salvage them.
If not, then any rear calliper should fit. Tourings have different sized pistons but the pads are the same, so the calliper should fit.

The calliper would of course fit, but would result in a brake force imbalance.
