I need to know what suspension differences there are, if any, between a 97-98 BMW M3 Sedan and a 1997 BMW 328i. By all pracitcal and logical reasoning I can't think of any. I just don't want to tear my car apart and find out I'm wrong. The guy I bought these springs from say they will work, but I need some more opinions from people who know more than I do. Thanks.

Even better, check out www.bimmerforums.com

I don't know all the exact differences, but I can list a few:

- M3's front sway bars connect to the strut housing, not the control arm
- larger rear trailing arm (stamped with ///M)
- different size spring perch in the rear (I think)
- sway bar thickness is different
- springs/shocks are different (duh)


... and I am sure there is more.
