However, this article has been brought up before and translated, and there was no mention of the rear suspension/brakes (IIRC). __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

The M Roadster began production in 4/96. My guess is that this car was a direct product of the development of the M based Z3 cars... BMW realized... HEY! All these parts fit the E36/5! __________________ SUPPORT 318ti.org! CLICK THE LINK ABOVE!
