David,

You got a deal !!! those bushings are a PITA to change... and you exactly correct in you description of how they go in...

one thing you failed to mention is why they made the mistake in the quote. The secret is that the M3 bushings have to go in from the TOP, due to alignment of that square knob and the shoulder on the bushing, The STOCK ones go in from underneath, without any pain..

Also when trying to put the bushing in from the top, there is no taper to help guide the bushing, making the special tool work alot to get it in.


and to the guy who mentioned that his 11 /12 does not wobbel... it will dont worry. the bushings just arent worn yet.

BTW i arranged for a set to be done for a client.. all went welll as we did full BMW PE suspension / M3 arms and the bushings.. he complaind of a "droan" or "harmonic" after the install.. we checked everything and all seemed well.. we wondered if it was his scalloped tires now transmitting more of the road noise thru the car.. Thoughts ??

Nice Write up !!!

Regards !!

p.s. what about the oil level sensor ????
