Bushing help (front sway bar)
I ordered bushings from FCP euro for my e82 135i. Im replacing them because they're old. My front sway bar is an oem m3 bar I ordered awhile back. I ordered the bushings attached to this post (see pics) but they are too small and dont fit around the sway bar. The new bushings that don't fit are for an e92 m3. FCP can't help me. Can someone kindly suggest which bushings I should be ordering so they fit correctly.

The part number you show is one of the two I ordered to install my E92 M3 front bar. The M3 bushings grip the sway bar and add spring rate to the front end.
Front is way easier than the rear to get the bushings locked in place. Thread below had the best DIY info I could find for doing them. I ended up applying assembly lubricant to the rubber that meets the swaybar then snapping the front bushing together using a rubber mallet. That gave me enough time to get them rotated into place to get everything bolted to the car. https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=661459

You need to measure the bar itself at the large OD.
E93 M3 bar is 28mm OD where the bushings mount, E90/92 is 26.5mm. Then order the bushings appropriate for the bar. The bushings you ordered are correct for the E90/92 bar. https://www.turnermotorsport.com/t-t...-e92-sway-bars
