E30 to TI?

[ZeroG]

Will a rear strut brace built for a E30 fit the Ti?

maybe, since the ti uses E30 rear suspension.

I doubt it. A quick check of Bavarian Autosport (www.bavauto.com) for both a 1991 318is and a 1997 318ti show non-duplication of rear strut braces. Thus I don't think you're in luck. Check the manufacturer of the strut bar and see if they offer the same part number for both models.

The rear suspensions are the same when it comes to moving parts (trailing arms, etc) but I suppose the bodies don't match at the strut tower mounts.
