the original owner had them on his TI. Since he lived in southern cali, i went to his home and picked up the parts and had time to chat with him. The reason he took them off was because he also sold the car to his younger nephew and got himself a pristine E34 M5. the M5 was awesome. He is a parts mechanic at the bmw dealer. He tried different setups with bilsten sport shocks and h&r sport springs until finally deciding to go with tokico and H&R race springs as he could adjust the stiffness.
Back when i got the parts i double checked everything as well through the internet, forums, and tokico. You can also check by going to Bavarian Auto's website. Look for the bilstein part numbers for your TI. Compare those part numbers to E36 318i and E30. Should be the same.
also, i forgot to mention, that new nuts are needed that go on the top of the shocks to secure it to the vehicle. should be available at the dealer.
Thanks,
