From what I've seen on a diagram it seems the position in the below pic is correct but I just wanted to check. The bump stop fits into the dust cover but is it supposed to sit up at the very top like that the whole time?

That second pic does not look right. When the car is on the ground/going over bumps, the shocks will compress the boot over the stop. The first pic is correct.Originally posted by cabriodster87"Honey? What color is this wire? Is it the same as that one? Are you sure? I don't believe it. OK, it works.

ok sorry, let me be more specific. bilstein sports have internal bumpstops. tourings maybe, i dont know. did they have external bumpstops mounted before? the only way to check would be to remove the strut insert, and pop the bottom cover off. i apologize for my ambiguity and lack of help.sigpic

The touring does have an internal bump stop, but you should use another if you can. Is the car lowered? You should use the sports if it is. I am lowered on the tourings and I know mine won't last as long as they should. I run a cut/shortened external bump stop. I have my boot over the bump stop compleatly.Originally posted by cabriodster87"Honey? What color is this wire? Is it the same as that one? Are you sure? I don't believe it. OK, it works.

Compleatly inside. It makes no sence why it would be just on the tip. If you bottomed the suspension out, so the bump stop was touching on the top and the bottom, woulden't that boot get slid over the stop? Think about it. I don't know why he even told you that. I work at a dealer and have seen a few e30s there. They ALL have the boot over the bump stop like I have mentioned.Originally posted by cabriodster87"Honey? What color is this wire?
