Hey guys, so to make a long story short, I purchased "new" kw v2 coilovers from someone a few years back and apparently it was missing a few parts so we decided to use some stock components. Below are the photos of the rear dampers side by side. As you can tell, they are not even on both sides, so I need to find out what is OEM BMW and what is aftermarket, I want to have the proper setup for my vehicle. This is for my e46 m3 cab. The top mounts are not the same either so I'm a bit confused myself.
The shock mounts with the reinforcement bar appear to be Rogue brand (after market) mounts. I used these on mine when I put new shocks on a few months ago. So, I would say those shocks with the reinforcement bar are the newer ones unless you installed the Rogue RSMs on your old ones. Hope this helps.
Thanks so much maxdout. They are indeed rogue engineering RSMs! Now I can happily go on with my life haha. :thumbup:
