My issue is I don't know what length I need unless I install the coilovers and measure.
Not the biggest deal in the world but I would just assume have all the components ready to install if possible.

The endlink ending in F3, that they have marked for the E46, was recommended for aftermarket coilovers designed to run stock length endlinks - Ohlins, TCK, etc.

Now, 10mm shorter is not much, so one size down might work fine since the aftermarket coilover is lowering the car from factory ride height.

could you measure the stock endlinks, then subtract an estimate of how much you want to lower the car to get an idea of what length to run? The e46 xi models had like a .5'' or 1'' higher ride height stock, so it makes sense to me that there would be different endlink lengths. But there should also be a 2+ inches worth of adjustment in them, so it doesn't need to be exact.

Those Turner endlinks are made by Power Grid. You can purchase them directly through their ebay store. Current price is $180, free shipping.
The guy is pretty responsive to any questions you might have, but looks like he will be away this weekend. He will also do custom lengths if you request it.

Here is the one for stock length:

Thank you, I will likely do just that, TCK says stock endlinks are fine, unfortunately the P.O of my M3 didn't leave them with me so these seem the way to go all around.

Is anyone running e36 m3 oem strut mounts on tc kline SA coilovers? I've read it works, but can anyone confirm? I think it was mentioned if you don't need camber plates for a mostly street driven car, e36 mounts are compatible.

Would definitely like to get confirmation on this!

Why not leave the stock end links ? Even on a lowered car as long as they clear the control arms you're good aren't you ?
Is the roll bar not round ?
My car is lowered and the stock end links are perfect with a stock roll bar.
