    Default Who knows more about BMWs than I do?

    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.
