HELLLLPPPP...... the front part of my two part exhaust has finally bit the dust. Trouble is i can't seem to find one other than the stealers and i can't bring myself to ring them yet until i've had a valium! SO, does anybody know where to get said section for a 325i cabrio 1989- pre facelift model. CHEERS.

The plot thickens, (like me i'm afraid), i've just been on eurocarparts and they list the same part number for saloons and cabs, facelift and pre-facelift. GSF definately say they are different. Can ANYBODY shed any light on this one. :mad:

I started a thread on this the other day, have a look at http://www.e30zone.co.uk/modules.php?na ... highlight=

It looks like it is only the front pipes that are different.

Quite right Gazza, problem solved, i have just been and bought the front pipe which does fit saloons and cabs. In case anyone's interested it was Ԛ£64 pounds.
