Which kit for a '98 323is?
There is not a specific kit shown here for the 323is. Does it use the same as the 318 and 325:
Shift Bushing Super Kit, 318i/is/iC/ti, (09/95-99), 325i/is/iC (09/94-96) Thanks! |

I have an imported 1985 E30 323i, I'm guessing that the kit "PEL-SKSBE30-03N Shift Bushing Kit, 325/e/es (1984-06/86)" is the correct kit to use. Also, since the article appears to be written for E36 BMWs, I just wanted to confirm that it is possible to replace all of these bushings without removing the suspension of drive shaft on my E30. Thanks!

I would call or at least specify the model in your order. I got several wrong parts when I ordered the kit and since I didn't install it right away I was stuck with them. It's best to install the kit soon after it arrives to be sure the parts are correct. Or use Realoem to look up part numbers for your car and order them separately.
Removing or at least dropping the drive shaft will probably make the job easier, but I cant say for sure on E30.
