Is this possible? Do they bolt up?

The one negative thing is that the 135i tie rods from LEMFÖRDER only cost 48 euros for the complete link WITH the bellows and clamps while the M3 links cost about 130 euros for just the tie rod link(no bellows). Hummm... decisions.

I'm leaning to just go with 135i tie rods... but I am open to any opinions.

The M3 inner tie rod is too long. You need stock inner tie rods.

The M3 and stock outer tie rods honestly look identical. Don't waste your money here.
