[robsgotit]

ive got an 87 325e my d/s ate caliper is shot, hanging up, anywho a fella down the road has a set of girlings he's willing to give away, i was wondering if this was a straight caliper/carier swap? can i still use my bavauto braided lines and crossdrilled rotors?
any info would be great thanks

Not sure about the carriers, but the same hoses and rotors will work.

I did the same thing as you. You do need the girling caliper bracket too. It is a direct swap and your pads and rotors will not need to be changed.

I think the Girling is better. Don't the newer e30's only come with Girling.
