[swiss318is]

Does anybody know which trailing arms fits directly to the 318is e30??

325 coupe, cabrio, touring
m3...
320is...
z3...
318ti

am i right?

The rear trailing arm is the same from 318is to 325i/x touring including M3, inclunding coupe and sedan bodies. The only differeces are the drive flanges on ix and M3.

Use any of them, but chop-off the sub-frame mounting ends and replace them with rose joints. Then you can adjust rear Toe
Simple enough to do really, you just need to be accurate.

yesyes...!!but i cant drive that in switzerland on the streets.. NOT ALLOWED
i am only asking for replacing parts if i have a damage on my trailing arms.. or on the racing m3's of a friend..

unlucky dude! doesnt your friends M3 arms have toe adjustment then?

[swiss318is]

yes, his m3's are all build to latest dtm spec...!! the trailing arms for a 318i and the 318is are different! i think where the brake calipers are and some other angles... i know that the 325 (not ix), 318is, m3, are the same z3 and 318ti fit too,  there are only some more reinforcement. all other trailing arms from other cars are different...! look at realoem!
by the way.. he owns a douzen of m3's.. evo's and other bmw racing cars!! for example the tictac m3 (you can google that..)the car is now totally green without white points but the parts on that car are... AMAZING!!INCREDIBLE...

omg, i have a official bmw model of that tictac car! its so amazing! such a nifty little thing!

i didnt know all the arms were that different - i thought pretty much all of them were interchangeable with each other - except IS models.
