l0w320 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2009 just wondering because just spotted some on trademe would m3 front n rear sway bars fit on a normal e30? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 1 Report post Posted December 9, 2009 both fit but front is actually smaller than E30 325i sway bar. M3 has different linkage system to make better use of the bar Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antil33t 90 Report post Posted December 9, 2009 My 320i has a front swaybar but not a rear swaybar. May aswell just look out for a 325i's rear swaybar for sale. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antil33t 90 Report post Posted December 9, 2009 if you can get one cheap, I hear it's worth it. I have a swaybar here, but am missing some parts to install it. too busy installing my B25 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amitch 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2009 i see mines a 320i soo would that make any difference??I fitted one to mine and the effect is noticeable. It turns in better as the rear is now doing more work. All I need now is some power! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westy 614 Report post Posted December 9, 2009 Question. Does the M3 bar mount to the strut or the control arm?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

westy 614 Report post Posted December 9, 2009 So to use the M3 bars you would also need the struts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 855 Report post Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) So to use the M3 bars you would also need the struts? I'm fairly sure you do .. I'll check this morning Part numbers are all different... but ETK doesnt show the difference. I'm fairly sure the M3 sway bars connect to the strut though and not the lower control arm... I'm known to be wrong though Edited December 9, 2009 by *Glenn* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ED1RTY 2 Report post Posted December 9, 2009 Yes they connect to the strut. Various aftermarket manufacturers make 'tabs' that can be welded to the strut to make use of the M3 swaybar. Josh has done it on his project e30 and I also was running this in the front when I had the coilovers (briefly) installed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
