Guys,

I am told there are 2 models of Front calipers for the E30 - one from Girling and the other ATE.

ATE seems smaller in physical size but runs exact same piston size ( hence same repair kit )

I have rim clearance issues hence is on the lookout for this soultion....

Question is : is there one from ATE? What year were these fitted and anyone here runs them? Any experiences?

Cheers!

Ant,

The closest I can get to GSF at this moment is their catalogue. ( I am abroad ) They do list 2 different models for the caliper replacement and both for same years 83 - 90.

Just tot someone here is better informed and know the differences.

Anyone, kind enough to share?
