    For sure 95 M3 front springs will work ..but can't say the same for 96+ fronts .

    Also it will raise the hell out of the rear .

            Ok, this is a noob question. Im just looking for a lil drop. Nothing severe. Will these work in my 87 325? I would appreciate any info/help. Thanks.

                  for the e36 M3? no drop. It will actually in all probability raise the car due to higher rates to cope withthe increased weight of the e36.

                  e30 M3 springs seem to be about half to 3/4 inch drop.

                        ^^ your best bet is to sell that setup and buy parts made for your car.
