    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=)

        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.

            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 think you might regret not having P/S earl.

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

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

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

                                        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.

                                          I changed the pedal ratio and switched to a smaller master cylinder. It will require just a bit more force than stock brakes and the pedal will not be mushy=)
