My Car Doesn't Exist

[Aus E30]

ok..so it does exist, but..
I have a 1988 320i(4door)
Whenever I search sites for parts/ect that have you enter your Make/year/Model I never find 88 320i.
What would be a matched equiv, eg tirerack only shows 325's in the '88' year bracket.

In the below ebay listing for a part I purchaced It has a table showing compatible models for the part (CSB) so am I right to thinking that those models shown as compatible for that part, may be compatible for most other parts also?

The table, given the correct years are listed, am I correct with the parts matching?

punch in your last 7 of your vin on realoem and see what it says.

there were no 320i's in general in the USA so when you're on a US website you aren't going to find anything. Luckily everything is the same on E30's so it doesn't matter.

Actually realoem has implemented the same layout as bmwfans...their site has always been slow for me. Realoem seems faster to me.

I love that show! Chummy is the reason it is funny.

everything 325i of that year will all fit, except the rear hub stuff, its the same as the 318i stuff, unless you have ABS.(drum brakes)
you also have the only year that non smiley ellips were avail.

Every time I start watching that show I can't quit for at least a couple hours. Did anyone catch that asshole trying to sell his beat to shit "special edition" 260 or 270 Z? $35k I think he wanted!
