What parts off the original donor do you need to do this?

Am I correct to think that any 318iS or 325 Sport will have the -15mm lower M-Tec susp. setup? 8)

i bought my setup for my 316i from a 318iS. i think the iS is the standard mtech suspension, it certainly lowered my car a fair bit.

you want the complete front struts (spring, rusty strut housing and damper which is inside the housing; they come off as one unit including the wheelhub etc), rear dampers and rear springs, and depending on what model your own car is, you may also want the front and rear anti roll bars.

so should the 318iS and 325Sport struts have an outside diameter of 51mm?

where abouts is this measured? or doesnt it matter?
