BMW drag link part number (need help)

I am trying to get the bmw drag links mentioned in the Saturn build guide to suit the mx5. Problem is I don't have a motaquip near me which is the supplier the reference number is given for and quite frankly they have been very unhelpful. I am trying to get from eurocarparts as they are right next to me and very helpfull. Unfortunately without a reg or part number they are unable to buy the part for me without me taking the risk and £ on it being wrong. Do any of you know the part number or have a reg I can use to locate the correct part??

I've got these, although admittedly I've not actually tried them on the upright yet;

They're intended for a BMW 5 Series 2.0 1990. I'm assuming you're referring to the upper front suspension ball joint? The lower front is the standard MX5 ball joint.

Thanks. 2 being delivered tomorrow. At £4 each I will take the risk on them being wrong.

IIRC you have a choice. QR1786S has an M16x1.5 thread, or QR2234S has an M14x1.5 thread.
I went for the M16 option for a little additional strength.

Edited to add: I don't know which thread the Saturn needs, I'm building suspension from scratch.

Probably not much help now byt if you ever need BMW part numbers Real OEM is a very handy website to know.
