M3 suspension parts on E82

I have searched but cant find solid answers on suspension needs for a new to me E82 135i coupe. I see most doing the front M3 arms, but cant see what is common to do on the rear suspension with M3 parts, arms and bushings wise.

Also what does it take to get an E82 to allow M3 fitment shocks to be installed ? Any input is appreciated on front and rear suspension options.

This is what you need to run M3 shocks and springs.

I didn't do that but I got the M3 rear guide rods, rear upper links, Megan Racing Toe arms, M3 subframe bushings and poly diff bushings. The rear end was pretty well locked down.

+1 on this being all you need to run M3 rear shocks.

Rear subframe bushings, upper link and guide link.
