IIRC, this is the same part as used on the 325.

You really gonna do the swap now? I thought you had no cash to do this? You should have just bought my swap kit in the first place, all necessary parts are in the kit, including the cross member...

sorry man, i apologized, and I really felt bad. The parts for the swap were given to me so I was able to afford those. i am just missing a few small items for it which i can buy slowly over the winter, so not so bad.

You looked at scrapyards? Shouldnt be that hard to pull, as long as you have some time -- there's a few with some e30s around

I am really hoping guys on here will maybe have the parts i need when i can srounge the cash to buy them. Living where i do there are almost ne e30's and none in any of the 1 or 2 small scrapyards within an hour of me. I am sure as i post the parts i need, as they are basically minor when it comes to the larger picture of the swap, that somebody will have the part lying around or be parting a car out.
cheers guys, take care
