Hi,

I have a 1990 325i, would anyone be able to tell me the strut diameter, please?

Thanks

It did when it left the factory, but assume nothing after 17 years!

Measure the tube diameter, anywhere between the spring platform at the top to the hub assembly at the bottom. It'll either be 51mm or 47mm (iirc).
