Rear Spring Pad (Damper Ring) - 320i (77-81) (26mm) (Genuine BMW) - The technical cutoff date for the rear suspension damper ring (Part #33521118320) is September 1981. BMW officially ended production of this part shape in late 1981 when they updated the upper rear shock absorber assembly layout across the global E21 chassis platform. (27c)
- US-Market (320i): Fits vehicles built from 02/1976 up to 09/1981. Cars manufactured in October 1981 or later (which includes the final 1982 and 1983 model years) shifted to a different top guide support, spring pad layout, and attaching washer combination, rendering this exact part obsolete.
- Euro-Market (315, 316, 318, 320/6, 323i): Follows the same strict 09/1981 hardware split.
