Title: E30 factory suspension
Post by: cheesebox on September 08, 2010, 02:22:48 PM

I thought the E30 318is had "special" suspension, but looking on RealOEM it shows the springs and dampers were common to other models too:

Rear shocks (http://www.realoem.com/bmw/partxref.do?part=33521135888&showus=on)
Springs (http://www.realoem.com/bmw/partxref.do?part=33539061589&showus=on&showeur=on)
Front struts (http://www.realoem.com/bmw/partxref.do?part=31311127315&showus=on&showeur=on)

But then M TECHNIC parts are mentioned but not specifically listed:
M TECHNIC (http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=AF92&mospid=47256&btnr=31_0109&hg=31&fg=10)

So what does this mean? Was the M Technic suspension an option on the 318is, with standard setup being the stock option?
