Ok guys so I just bought my e46 rack and I'm wondering
What ujs do I use?
And I need 40mm spacers between the rack and subframe mounting?
Thanks David

Standard E30 uj fits the E46 rack.
Spacers are more like 14mm than 40mm.

You will need to modify the e30 uj by removing the rubber part and then bolting the 2 halves together.

Litterally that simple?
