    Are my arms z3 or 318ti?

    How can I tell for sure if my rear arms are z3 or 318ti? I have to figure it out asap as mine is busted.

    Well all I can say is on my 2001 z3 that I installed on my 91 318is, The inner tie rod threads are much larger and require no locking plate and the outers has like a larger S bend on them, and has the same outer ball joint. Hope this helps GL.

          The 1.9 z3 and 318ti use the same part number for the trailing arm.

            At no point does this address any sort of arm, control nor trailing.


            OP: you ordered trailing arms that came with hubs, installed them and ran attempted to run high offset wheel. This alone leads me to believe that your trailing arms are 318ti/1.9L z3. But we've covered all this already.
