I thought all e30 struts were interchangeable including the e30 M3 into a regular 90 325i. (except for the very early smaller struts)
I have a pair of Boge m3 strut inserts (I was told) but they didn't fit in the strut housing when I went to swap them in.I had Tokico HZ3091 struts in there (totally blown, as usual) from when I bought the car. The m3 strut's bodies are about 1/4" longer than the Tokicos and the top of the strut sits outside of the housing so I couldn't get the cap to thread back on. Width was fine.
The m3 strut measured exactly 17" and the only markings on it were:
1 0201 32 381A
BOGE
2 225 397 2
Can anyone identify this strut? Is it really an e30 M3 strut? And finally, if so, why the hell is it longer than the Tokico strut? Does it need an M3 specific strut cap?
