I measured mine and it is about 214.3125mm center to center. The e30 m3 uses a 215mm selector rod so it would be perfect. Not quite sure why mine would be that much different than yours

This is a totally BS number lol, two decimal places when measuring in MM is pretty nuts let alone four places! 

Pedal is looking good, ya know, as far as brake pedals go!

[Earl]

It is totally bs. Haha Good catch. I used the handy dandy tape measure and it is almost exactly 8 7/16". Once you convert that over to mm you get the above number=)

Its -16.74922 degrees outside right now, this is not the time to be talking about BS numbers

I have the joint from when a buddy (BSe46) had a '94 318 sedan and never put it in.  It is the wide kind though which is probably not right for the DSSR.  I have so many parts is ridiculous.  I don't even know what I have is the problem.

I would have this style (#12) 

[jc43089]

Yea that is the narrow late style one, sometime around 94 it switched I think.  I will find a use for it someday lol.

I don't think so. I may regret the manual brakes though

[YoungCR]

I didn't mind no power steering until it came to parallel parking, full lock sucks.

[Earl]

I won't be parallel parking this. Too risky with this much stretch

[jc43089]

Man up, just giver! 

(I am keeping PS but no power brakes, unless this turns out horribly for Earl)

I find power steering to be overrated. Maybe it's just because I've never driven a car with power steering that had a decent feel to it. I'll take being able to feel what's happening at the front of the car in a corner over being able to park effortlessly any day. I've only driven one car with manual brakes and that was my first car, a 1963 Chevy Nova. You had to stand on them pretty hard (both feet!) if you really needed to stop. Going from that to power brakes was never really satisfactory though. The cars were easier to stop, but the pedal felt mushy and I never felt like a had as precise of control. For me the pedal feel on the e21 (with power brakes) is perfect. It's firm, but you don't have to stand on it to get the car stopped. I think if the brakes are large enough, and the ratio between the master and slave cylinders was right you could get away with manual brakes, but it's not something I'd do to a car I was expecting to put a lot of miles on.
