Will e82 e87 135i suspension fit an e30???

09-05-2008, 11:14 AM

As stated I'm wondering if the suspension bits from an 135i will fit an e30? Anyone here from a BMW shop, parts counter first hand experience?

I met a guy with a beautiful 135i who is doing a Dinan full suspension and is getting rid of his 1 series suspension. My car is convertible but if I recall the new 135i is heavier than my car anyhow.

borrow it and check before he sells it.

You can 'make' anything fit.

Is it free? If its free then take it either way and give it a try. If it doesn't work throw it on eBaymotors or just toss it.

Well, posterity, you will never know what it cost us to preserve your freedom. I only hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.

nothing will fit, honest.

Here is my photo gallery answering common questions about Ground Control Suspension, and e30 suspension problems in general.

Not sure if they are free I'm sure I will have to make some offer plus drive to pick them up but willing to try it out.
