Before you order
- xDrive and rear-wheel-drive cars use different front assemblies. Confirm drivetrain.
- Cars with adaptive dampers need a kit that keeps or deletes the electronic control. The listing states which.
- Listings are read from the retailer's E92 M3 coupe category. Sedan (E90) and convertible (E93) cars share most mechanical parts; body parts differ. Confirm body style on the retailer page before ordering.
