Sadly the build is completely different from the 3 series none of the build blogs I have found are much use for this part of the build!

Hi Craig,
you are the only e39 chassis builder that I have heard off so I guess a call to Marlin will be required.
But I'm sure if you post some pictures someone on here might be able to offer some suggestions. Looking at realoem the e39 rear shocks are like McPhearson struts so I would guess that the top just bolts up to the Marlin chassis like in the original car?
This video I found may help?

Maybe I've misunderstood your question?
