        These are the basic Bilstein strut sizes:

        P36 - P = Strut insert, 36 = piston diameter in mm. (OD = 46mm, ID = 40mm)
        P30 - P = Strut insert, 30 = piston diameter in mm

        Here are some figures ...

        Front Struts:

        P30-0125 E21 320i sport insert
        overall ext. length: 635mm,
        length at bump stop: 517mm,
        fully compressed: 488mm,
        lower housing length: 462mm

        P36-0335 E30 325i sport insert
        overall ext. length: 597,
        length at bump stop: 515,
        fully compressed: 450,
        lower housing length: 418

        Rear Shocks:

        B46-0617 Rear E21 Sportcol.
        length: 360mm
        ext. length: 523mm

        Does anyone have figures for rear E30 Bilsteins?
