I have just got my first BMW E30, a friend who has owned a few thinks that it doesn't have the standard 320 throttle bodies but has been fitted with larger ones. I have found out the size of the throttle bodies but is it easy to get to it to measure it? Any advice on how easy/quick it is to get to would be appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply, do I just need to take off the air intake pipe?

And what makes him think it is not a standard one?
