Does anyone know how universal struts are from a 3 series to a 5 series?
Have blown struts on my 1990 E34 and could get all new for nothing off a 2001 E46 from a mechanic friend of mine, but he's not sure if they will fit or not. I also have old struts from my 1990 E30 that are good, but those would be a second option if the E46 ones would work .
I know it sounds like a stupid question, but since I could get them for nothing and its a whole set w/ Springs; thought I would try. I know on early models there's a lot of universal stuff between the different series engine wise (Not to familiar with the running gear), but in this much of a year difference I am just not sure.
Any Information would help I know both my rides inside and out, but I have never opened a hood or crawled under a BMW newer than a 1991, I Prefer Older ones !!! Also don't mind the signature quote I got bombed on for putting it on here but this is a BMW forum and I live in a town with nothing but Hondas not clowning on them just saying I prefer Euro instead of jap or even American for that topic!!! THIS IS A BMW FORUM
Thanks for the input!
