does B&G have a website? i'd go and check their website to see if the kit numbers are the same or email them to find out from them. __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles

They should fit fine. (remember, I have he roadster rear sub frame, and it all bolts right in, and the front suspension is all the same for the most part)
The thing to watch is what engine the suspension is rated for. The 2.8 in the Z3 was about the same weight as the 1.9 (Steve: correct me if I have this wrong), but the 2.5 motor is heavier as is the 3.2 in the M roadster. | | | | | 01-25-2006, 04:25 AM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Madison, WI Posts: 121 |
Hey Jim, is the subframe swap required for using the actual suspension components from the Z3/Mroadster, or does everything from both cars just fit together? | | | | | 01-25-2006, 01:39 PM | #6 | | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT! Posts: 3,156 |
I don't know for sure, because I just bolted the entire assembly in to avoid those kind of questions / wasted money. | | | | | 01-31-2006, 06:01 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Toronto Posts: 148 |
I am running H&R ///M coupe coil-overs in one of my tis. Yes they fit fine, providing you are happy with the spring/rebound rates. SL Quote: | Originally Posted by mischief B+G S3 Coilovers

Old thread, but i figured I throw it out there that I used to run B+G suspension on my 328 when I lived in Sicily. Actually I just ran B+G "Autobahn" springs with Sachs sport tuned shocks/struts. Good stuff. | | | | | 03-14-2009, 04:13 AM | #14 | | Moderator Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Maryland Posts: 3,220 |
