F2x rear subframe bushes

Gents,

I have succeeded in tightening up the front of my car with M4 LCAs and upgraded springs and ARB's F&R. Am now exploring ways to better locate the rear subframe on our F2x/F3x cars using OEM parts.

Below is a REALOEM link for F2x rear subframe - same as RWD F3x.

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=33_1600

From the above, I'm keen to gauge feedback on replacement of the items 2, 3, 8 & 10 of F2X rear subframe below with appropriate E9x M3 bushes.....
E9x subframe front bushes [#2 below] look like they are installed from the top of the subframe whereas the rears are installed from the underside [same as F2x F&R]

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=33_1408

My question is are the E9x M3 rear subframe rear bushes [item 3] for subframe and diff mounting bushes F&R [9 & 12] are same size for the equivalents for F2x/F3x ?

Thanks in advance,

BP

Are these by any chance the same parts as in E8x 1 series?

Too bad. I was hoping PowerFlex might have something for the 2-er. Alas, they have nothing for the F2x listed on their website.

That'd be great and around the time I'd think of actually trying it.

Subscribed for bushings. Definitely on my to-do list.
