Valerie, RSM part number question

Originally posted by valerie
I havent installed them yet but did buy the RSMs for the M3 cab as well. I'd heard that they will offer more protection while not being as harsh as some of the solid RSMs offered aftermarket. I can't confirm that these will fit a sedan but cannot see that they are any different either- do the aftermarket ones come in different sets for the sedan and coupe? If not I would say its safe to conclude that they are the same.

Here are the part numbers I have (and yes its cheap - $30-$40 from Pacific BMW):

Rear Shock Mounts

Item Qty Part Number Retail Price Notes
E46 Rear Shock Mounts 2 #33 52 6 754 096 $18.40/ea Required
Self-Locking Collar Nut 4 #31 33 1 092 887 $0.55/ea Recommended
Washer Gasket 2 #33 52 1 128 734 $0.43/ea Recommended
Self-Locking Hex Nut 2 #33 52 1 137 360 $0.42/ea Recommended
Z3 Reinforcement Plates 2 #51 71 8 413 359 $14.40/ea Optional

Hey Valerie are you sure these part numbers will fit the normal e46 coupe? If so, I'm going to go to the dealer in the morning and order 'em.

TIA,
Steve

I just replied to you on the other thread

I cant tell you for sure but I had orginally heard that it would fit and cant see why it wouldnt based on what it looks like.

When I aksed SF BMW if they would consider doing the install of the RSMs if I had some other suspension work done they didnt tell me it wouldnt work just that they wouldnt warranty it...

Hope that helps

Thanks again. Didn't mean to double post, but I wasn't sure you'd read the other old thread I guess I'll order a set and find out.
