To do this outrageously bold upgrade RIGHT yo need;

1) Front struts/springs from 1986-87 325es
2) Entire ABS unit, incl UNBROKEN plumbing,module
3) Wiring harness to dashboard/ABS indicator lens
4) Rear Shocks from any i/es car(Boge, Bilstein)
5) The Girling Brake booster(87-91 e30), NOT the smaller, ATE unit
6) New Brake hoses,ABS sensor wiring. Dont compromise these safety items! Its bad enough you are applying it to the e30's evil(yet, weaker) twin...
7) Plan for DT of an afternoon, to your car. Read the ****ing Manual, if suffering from nut-scratching fits-of-confusion

Good Luck,
Zach

Q: Why on a 318i?
Another Answer:
Found an 87? 325i with ABS vented front and rear disk brakes at salvage yard. I have a 84 318i with unvented front and rear drums. I'm getting the front calipers and rotors. I'm also getting the rear calipers and rotors as well as the trailing arms and parking brake cable. Unfortunately someone got to the ABS system before me. Will I need the front and rear hubs? Both cars are 4x100. Is there anything I am missing? I can get everything for 150.00 but I have to move fast. Any advise would be helpful!
THANK YOU.
