Do e93 m3 sway bar end links fit a non e9x?

Wifeys335i · 08-06-2016, 01:25 PM

I just purchased an e93 M3 front sway bar used and it came with M3 front sway bar end links. I know the sway bar is a direct swap, but want to confirm if the end links will swap too or should I purchase OE e9x non-M sway bar end links.

Thanks,
Mark

Anybody? I tried searching here and Google, but no such luck.

They're a different part number on RealOEM...

They won't fit. The M3 end links are 13.5" long and the rwd non-M are 11.5" long. In theory, longer links are a good thing if you lower the car, but the rod end that attaches to the strut is different on the M3 links.

If you're not lowering the car then you could use OE rwd non-M end links, otherwise there are several different kinds of adjustable end links available for lowered cars.

Thanks for the response. My car will be lowered on the b12 kit. Can I reuse the factory end links?

If your car is lowered, you should really adjust end link length. It looks like there are a lot of stories of people who lost suspension performance just because the sway bar geometry was off. Besides, the price difference between new links from an M3 and aftermarket adjustable links should be pretty small, if not in the favor of quality adjustable links.

It won't fit. The length is different. However, if you're lowered already, I would recommend you to get the HPA swaybar end links.
