e30 radiator supports........

[AutoXSS]

i know all the supports arent the same, vert/early/late. I found a few sources but have run into a few snags.

looking at this part no. it matches up to the oem part, but it specifically states convertible in the notes...the cross reference part no is the same?

can anyone shed some light on this?

10/90 is really late in e30 production.  Might it be that only convertibles were produced after that date?  I'm just guessing, not sure at all.  I don't think it'll be a problem.  I've used RockAuto a lot myself, but what's their return policy on panels?

Put the part no in an ebay search and got more than a few.

Its been awhile since i messed with the car. Been tucked away at my parents home in the garage(i had nowhere else to put it). Im reviving this project since tax season is here, lol.

The ebay supports are no longer there. The rock auto ones are, but they advised against me assuming it'll fit my 91'? The shipping is huge and don't really want to return it. Still looking for a new support, don't want a used/cut one.

Do i take a chance on the rock auto one? Do know some have said there is no difference between coupe and vert supports, and no diff between 325 or 318 late vert/ coupe?

Found this one using the bm1225103 replacement part no. Found another sold by amazon.com. The link above and amazon sells them with no shipping cost. Rock auto has a $70 shipping charge to where Im at. Wondering these replacement supports have provisions for both vert/coupe/sedan......
