I need to rephrase my finding: the sliders that fit e46 m3 are e34 leftovers from 38mm calipers I put on my back. The sliders on the e34 and 318ti have same spacing, so the 318ti and e46 m3 have...

Right, mine is obd1, but in the case of obd2 where 2 sensors are used you'd retain both sensors and prevent CEL from coming on, even with aftermarket cat. How are we not on the same page here?

The website I used coincides with realoem information, for example e34 525i uses a 25.4 MC up to 9/91, then it switches to 25.4/20.66.

So after crunching some numbers it seems that when I...
