I don't know why they wouldn't. I have the rear kit installed, and the front kit in a box awaiting install.

Should fit. Check on ECS and see if their site says it will fit.

The fronts M3 control arms are a decent improvement. Rear just do the Rear Sub-Frame Bushings. If you want to lock the rear down more get a differential lockdown brace. Those three things really made quite a difference IMHO.

M3 control arms will fit fine, same as a E82. However, with a Cabrio, don't do the diff lockdown brace, due to to our extra bracing it will rub again the subframe. I took mine off as it created a annoying whining
