    E30 M3 or E36 M3 Control Arm Bushing

    1988 325I Vert. Stock Suspension and Wheels.

    Well its time to order some new control arms and bushings,I was going to order some lemforder control arm pair kit. But I got stump when it came to ordering the bushings. I've read somewhere getting the m3 bushing will give you better handling. So, I came across the e30 m3 bushing and the e36 m3 bushing and was just wondering which is the better option or they both the same? They are about 10 bucks difference in price. I'm not looking to do any auto x or racing, just my daily driver and maybe on a cruise thru the hills once in awhile.

    Both are solid IIRC but the E30 M3 besides being an E30 part will increase caster angle for better high speed stability.

      I went with the centered M3 bushings (31129069035) when I did mine last year. They've been great.
