Hello people, I know I've not been so active in the past few years, having sold my 325i Touring nearly 10 years ago, but still rolling around in a BMW 330i Touring these days

I'm on the market for a E30 rear beam complete, preferabley with the rear discs , complete with a medium case diff if possible but no LSD to keep costs down.
Key parts listed below:
  • Rear Beam
    Rear trailing arms - disc variant
    188mm 'Medium' diff - can be open but looking for a ratio of 3.15 / 3.23 / 3.25
If anyone's got the setup, I can collect within reasonable distance of Northampton or can work out getting it delivered

Please drop me a PM or leve a message here.

I have disc trailing arms in Stafford, they have been off the car for many years so ideally should be refurbished before fitting, I also have several rear beams in reasonable condition
