    Front subframe bolts...same length or different?

    Hi all,
    I recently removed my front subframe on my 88 325 and was looking to replace the 4 main bolts with new ones. The ones that I removed were 2 different lengths however when looking up on RealOEM (#3 in the picture) as well as online, I only see them as 1 length for all 4.

    I thought maybe somehow the previous owners mechanic replaced them with incorrect correct lengths or something so I ordered 4 of pn 07119905562 but then I saw this ebay posting that also showed 2 different sizes like mine and made me think that my originals are the correct length.

    Has anyone experienced this or knows if the new ones I bought will work?

    I haven't been able to test it with the new bolts because I have everything all masked off for painting and cleaning up the engine bay currently.

    Here are the bolts that I removed (left) with the 4 new ones I bought:

    i seem to recall different sizes, but just check if the longer ones go where the shorter ones were without bottoming out
