M3 Rear Subframe Bushings and Sway Bar for an E88

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows about the M3 rear subframe bushings for an E88. Most of what I have read is for an E82 and it's 2 smaller bushings for the front and 2 larger for the back.

I called my up dealer in Canterbury and the parts dude said I need 2 for the front, 1 left rear and 1 right rear. Different sizes for the rears...

Is this just a vert thing or is he wrong?

Also, what's your opinion on upgrading the rear sway bar? What effect would this have on the handling other than reducing body roll?

I just recently started modding my 135. Just finished warranty this month =P. I caught the mod bug baaaad.

33316758259 - 2 x bushings leading side of rear subframe

33316758260 - 2 x bushings trailing edge of rear subframe

Go to realoem.com to research parts for our cars. BMW dealers are swine and I dont believe a word that comes out of their mouths as a general rule.

Hmmm yeah I just checked. Thanks for the reply Drawn05. I'd have hated to buy the parts only to find out they don't fit in when the subframe's dropped...

I'll go back to them with the part numbers and make sure I get the right parts.
