Hold your horses before anyone ditch his/her E34 and rush to book the E90. The E34 manual shows different data from the bracket numbers provided by fandango.
Let me add the e60 (from brochure) as comparison. And watch out on the various width measurements. I think fandango compared 2 different kind of width measurement and thus drew the wrong conclusion.
