I bought the whiteline rear subframe inserts and tried to install it over the weekend.
to make the story short I just could not install the bottom rear inserts.
I can just look at the inserts and the subframe bushing and can tell that they are not going to fit.
anyone with 330i have done this?

I was so pissed I threw all the pieces away.
I should have taken pictures but I was too pissed.

If the top fit, the bottom should fit... Pretty sure every E9x has the same subframe bushings. First I've heard of anyone having issues with inserts.

Two possibilities:
-wrong parts were sent
-installer error
Since you threw the parts away and didn't take any photos nobody can determine what was the reason.

That was not the right move to throw them out, now how can you even get your money back if you were dissatisfied? But I have them easily installed on my e92, maybe you switched the top and bottom pieces around, but if the rears fit, and you got the front tops in which is the hardest part to get...then you shouldn't have any problems with the front bottoms.

Thanks for sharing I guess cuz what difference does it make now if another 330i owner did it, you threw the parts away

i'll take a picture of my subframe bushing on the rear rear bottom side next time I get under the car.

I think my rear rear subframe bushing rubber changed shape over time......

I have installed couple of sets, one on 9y old car with 100k, and don't think bushings deformation was your issue. As I stated previously:
-wrong parts were sent
-installer error
