I have found when you try the fits what vehicle it says will not fit e30,specifically ,325es.Also many look like the might work but no dimensions are given,I need the boot to work with the most common bump stop for these cars and fit over the bottom of the strut and use the original plastic retaining collar .I can not afford to to buy 5 different sets of bump stops and boots to see which might fit ,I have already bought 2 different types that looked like they might work but they do not ...I noticed the rack boots and thought of trying them.anyone have photos of their installations for this ?

I just went to my local BMW dealer and bought the stock OEM item. They're not very expensive, maybe $15 each.Jon (OO=[][]=OO)
