Steve K-B 51 Report post Posted June 6, 2016 Hi, Im looking for the rear hub and inner flange off an E28. I need it to see if i can use them for my E36 compact so would take any condition at this stage. Parts 1 and 5 in the link below. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=4062-EUR-09_1982_E28_BMW_520i&diagId=33_0170#33411129859 Thanks, Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30-323ti 66 Report post Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) Hi steve, I looked into this for my E30 many years ago, and the problem if I recall was a conflict with the rear shock mount and the axle flange. That is why I dropped the whole E28 back-end in my E30 (and the improve geometry of course). There are a few pic's around the net of some dodgy workarounds to extend the rear shock mount further rearward (might have a pic/link at home). The other option I thought of was making some custom drive flanges from a pair of old CV's, but given the state (and small diam.) of the splines of the ones I removed, it didn't seem like a wise choice. [edit] The other issue I just recalled was the wheel mounting side of things ended up a long way inboard, and would need thing spacers to mount even shallow offset rotors. [/edit] [edit] Found this on some Swede/Finish forum years ago, NB they've also swapped over E32/34 diff mount to the E30 subframe, seems a bit OTT given the E28 Big Case housing bolts in...
