Re: I have a 320/m3 and i need help?!?!? (archive)

first join the BMW club if you are not a member already, then call the junk yards advertised in there. I heard a 530i e12 caliper and 77 vented rotor will work. You want the whole 323i front strut as I was told it has the bigger wheel bearing (like e30 M3 have the 5 series e28 bearings). That strut also uses the 77 vented rotor and caliper but I don't know if the 77 320i vented caliper and the e12 530i caliper is the same or not. I also have a very trick Brembo aluminm vented caliper that will fit the e21 using a vented rotor from 77 320i. It weighs about 1/2 of the cast iron caliper.(great to reduce unsprung weight) Also get the whole rear trailing arm and rear brake set up from a 323. You will need a 323i brake proportioning valve. I don't know if you need to have a different 323i master cyclinder but I would guess that you would need it.

Whats up guys. I am always on the E36 M3 board and now that i have a new member to the family i will be joining all of you here.
I have just bought a 1983 320i. The car has Bilstiens and some weird springs(intrax maybe). Unknown Aftermarket Sway bars. But the reason for buying this car is for racing purposes . This car has an S14 M3 motor conversion with the M3 transmission. This guy ran out of money when he came down with a deadly sickness. So i took this beast off his hands. The car was sitting about a year and i was forced to replace both fuel pumps and all the fuel lines to and fuel pumps. I did a complete tune up and replaced everything.
The car runs perfect and i love it. Can i Say FAST!!!!!
Well the guy never did anything with the brakes.
Where is the best places to find 323i brakes???
New or used i dont care i just need them things.
Plus i need the 323i rear trailing arms
Can i get this stuff here in the USA?
Thanks Bill
