    318 nuckle work with my 325is?

    I have some strut/nuckles from an 84' 318i that i need to use on my 325is and i'm trying to see if they will work on my 325is...?

          Nope.

          They are interchangeable, but different.

          318i has "small" strut, tube diameter is 45mm while 325i has 51mm.

          It uses differen shock absober due it's smaller size.

          They are interchangeable, as long as they have shocks. And you swap both struts.

          Have your toe adjusted if you decide to swap smaller struts.

          Smaller strut will give you some tyre clearance.
          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
