sirboomalot 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2013 Could anyone please help me out. My 96 328i Motorsport sedan rear shocks are a bit tired and was wondering if anyone knows what other e36 shocks are interchangeable with mine. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sirboomalot 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2013 If it is a "true" motorsport with motorsport suspension then the shocks are an up-rated shock common to all M-sport E36's except the M3. Full motorsport suspension will have higher rate springs, lowered slightly , stiffer front and rear roil bars and stiffer shocks. Easiest way to check is measure the ride height and the diameter of the sway bars. If it just has the badges then it will have the same shocks as other 6 cylinder E36's Thanks for that. Yes it has the motorsport package. Was checked via http://www.rubmw.ru/vincode/eng/ and yes sits lower than standard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rgvkiwi 10 Report post Posted October 8, 2013 Hi, Further to the OP's question here. Does anyone know what the diameter of the standard sway bars are? My 328 is a factory Nz new M sport but someone has replaced at least, the rear shocks with standard ones, would like to a bit of checking around the car to see what else has been "downgraded".... Measuring sway bars seems relatively easy.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blonky 2 Report post Posted October 13, 2013 Thought M-sport body kits and M-spec suspension are two different options... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
