Title: E30 318is front shocks
Post by: carlos318is on March 02, 2009, 06:14:01 AM

Can anyone tell me if the shock inserts from a E30 325 will fit a 318is as on the OEM they are the same part number. But I would of thought they would be a harder ride:confused:

318is have 51mm struts just like 325, so the shock inserts should fit fine.

Check out realoem.com to make sure . You should be able to compare the two struts .
