Hello,
I am seeking a BMW suspension guru who might know the possibility of transplanting a M3, MZ4, Mini, or other multilink rear suspension in my Ti. I noticed the new European Ti's have multilink rear suspensions. I am looking for a stronger and better handling rear end for the 400+ HP in my car. I presently have a MZ3 rear end. I am dropping the rear sub frame for welding reinforcement plates and now would be a good time to modify the frame for a new rear end. I know a bolt in isn't possible, but if it fits under the car and improves the handling over the trailing arm setup, I can make the necessary mods to make it work.
Does anybody have or know where I can find this information? Thanks...
