i put one on my 320 last week pice of piss to do, its the same set up as the front, you will need 2 clamps for the swing arms, 2 link rods, 2 bushs, and 2 clmps for the body + 2 bolt , and an hour to do the lot, the roll bar bolts to the body on the boot floor side of swing arms and the link rods bolt to the swing arms not the rear beam, hope that helps

Missing the bracket on rear beam? - I retro fitted rear ARB on my 320i, it had boltholes on chassis, and brackets on beams already there - didn't all post facelift E30's come with brackets etc for ARB??

On the pre facelift the boltholes are there, but the brackets are not present. Jhonno's (if thats his in the piccy) looks like a pre facelift?

Ok, I might sound stupid now, but don't E30's come with ARB's as standard then? I can't say I've actually looked for one on mine, but if it hasn't got one fitted then I'm definately getting one.

Is this going to be a dealer part or can I get one (and the fittings) from elsewhere?

I think only the 320i and 325i came with rear ARBs as standard, they all have front ARBs though.

Dealer should be able to supply them:

14.5mm ARB 33551129194 *1
14.5mm Bush 33551130349 *2
Bracket 33551129195 *2
Bracket Bolt 07119915066 *2
Link Arms 33551126932 *2
Bolts 07119912501 *2
Nuts 07129946400 *2
Washer 07119932632 *2
Split Pin 07119945196 *2
Arm Bracket 33321127717 *2
LockNut 31331092887 *2

Think thats the lot, depending if your car is a pre facelift or post facelift you may already have the Brackets mounted on the car.
