Which OEM bushings? Z4M or e36?

[m3f_LemonPaper]

I'm planning to buy the Vorshlag limiters and some oem bushings (linked here: http://www.vorshlag.com/product_info...products_id=59). The drop down menu at the bottom lets you choose Z4M or e36. Do both fit the e36 M3 and is there any noticeable difference in performance?

Go with the E36 bushing. There's no performance difference between the two bushings. By the way, realoem.com is your friend.

Cool thanks

I'm pretty sure I've got a set of 33326770786 bushings (NIB) I'll sell you for $35 shipped. It might take me a day or two to get them out of storage. i'll also have to double check the part number. BUT, I used 33-32-6-770-817. They are a touch firmer when installed, but I have no idea if that's makes a bit of real difference.

This is the best BMW part number 33-32-6-770-817, latest version upgrade across several platforms, E36 Ms E46 Ms, E85/86 Z4s. These are firmer bushings and last longer. Should be under $40 for a pair delivered.


If doing the install using factory style SIR bushing press be sure that you use a pair of very large strong screw type hose clamps to compress the bushing shells until them meet. Then get the bushing started in the hole with the press and press the bushing in up to the first hose clamp. Loosen the hose clamp and remove it. Then press in the bushing and remove last clamp. This is the best method I've found to get these buggers without damaging them.


HTH!
