Re-engaging in the community!

It looks as if the bracket was used as a grounding point. Found this pic off a thread on r3v that shows a ground strap hanging from there.

Thanks Mike! Did you end up grounding that there on your swap or going elsewhere?

There is frequently a ground point on the opposite frame rail. 
Just a stud chilling out with a bit of a flat plate behind it. 

Mods should move this thread to the build thread area.

Hahaha. Well i drove the car I pulled the engine out of.. Happened to do a few donuts on the way to the garage. Its strong.

Curious if anyone can help me identify these rear trailing arms by part number. Ive searched around and nothing comes up with this part number or any variation of it.. 

They're thought to be off a 6 Cylinder Z3 for my 5 lug swap, I just want to confirm so I order the right bearings but nearly all of the trailing arm part numbers start with 333.

These start with 385... if you drop the 7. Haha.

The numbers end in 762 and 761 for right and left which is consistent with the other trailing arm part numbers ive found but nothing starting with 385... And those 7's look an awful lot like 1's...

Im embarrassingly confused. 

Help PLEAAAAASE!

Ouhhhf. Yeah IDK. Have you tried googleing or running the numbers in RealOEM?

[straight6pwr]

use the bearing opening in the trailing arm (or the existing bearing if its still in place) to figure this out. the 1.8 has a smaller bearing.

z3 2.5 6cyl - Angular ball bearing 42mm x 75mm x 37mm

z3 1.8 4cyl / 318ti - Angular ball bearing 39mm x 72mm x 37mm

(inside diameter x outside diameter x depth)
