                87 base model 325 checking in with 51mm tubes. I realize this thread is old...just posting for posterity sake.

                    My car is M40B18 (European timing belt-driven SOHC), 1990~1991. What strut housing do I have? Is it 45mm or 51mm? I think the answers provided in the post is for the North American chain-driven M42B18 DOHC only.

                            Only very early model cars came with 45mm struts.
