Actually, 3 holes per side to drill. Agree, for $25~$30 shipped on Ebay, can't beat it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regards, Slam105 Yes, I did think of that, yet I have never had a Tii parts car to check. Anyone? It would be good to know. I stumbled across this by accident when a friend of mine with an e36 M3 was asking about factory body measurements on the shock towers. low and behold, when I found the measurements to be almost identical to the 2002, I took a shot at it and it worked!! I posted it here a long time ago....don't know if anyone ever took my investigative results and did the same thing as a result? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At $30 shipped I couldn't go wrong, and, if it didn't fit it could adorn the Wife's E36. I was surprised how easy it was, I just drilled new holes. Don't honestly think the thing is much use other than a shiny piece under hood and for tying things to, like the carb linkage as it kept falling off the Beater before.
