              Ís this a trick question?

              BMW never made such car.

              1991 318i had m40 engine, 18,5mm in front(20mm with sport suspension) no rear sway.

              M42 engined cars were named 318is, and were only available as 2d version. 20mm front and 14,5mm rear.
              Current:

              BMW 320i 2d 2.0 m20 -88
              BMW 325i Cabriolet 2.5 m50 -88
              BMW 316i touring 1.6 m40 -90
              BMW 320i 4d 2,2 m54 -01

                  EDIT: 20mm on front and 12mm back(14,5mm with sport suspension).

                    IE also offers the 22/19 setup along with 25/22. I will soon to have both sets to compare them.

                      On my 87 325i cabrio the rear end link often "pops" off, and i've put the end back in several times but its still coming off.
                      Anybody know why this is happening and what can be done to correct this problem?? Any ideas would be helpful, thanks .

                        it pops off because the bushing is worn out. you need to replace it.

                            Koni makes antisway bars? I know they used to sell matched rate spring packages but never heard they did asb's.
