Are M3 and 335i bushings and differential mounts the same?

Hello,

I know that the OEM E92 M3 bushings for the subframe as well as the differential mount is compatible with the E92 335i.

My question is, after looking on Turner's site and browsing the forums, I noticed that Turner does indeed make TWO different versions of the same parts, one for E92 M3, one for E92 335i.

Turner Parts:

M3 Specific:


Delrin Differential Bushings:

Delrin Subframe Bushings:


https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-1...e82-1m-e9x-m3/

335i Specific:

Delrin Differential Bushings:


https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-1...2-e9x-f22-f3x/

Delrin Subframe Bushings:


https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-1...minum-e82-e9x/

My question is simply, what are the differences between these the M3 and 335i kits?

I plan to do a M3-bits conversion for my 335i, and I want the best M3 fitting parts, so which ones are correct?

If the OEM M3 and 335i bushings are the same size, how come Turner made two different kits?

I believe m3 mounts are interchangeable and are solid rubber instead of fluid filled. Same size.

A good alternative is HP Autosport in Santa Barbara - they'll sell you the bushings too; have rear subframe bushing extraction/install tool you really, really should rent......

To the OP. We have just installed Turner solid aluminum subframe bushings in my car and Turner delrin subframe ones on a buddy's car. We got the ones for the regular E90. If you need someone in the GVA do it for you, PM a member k335d, he's got al the tools and know-how.
