Center Support Bearing

[Flak]

I'm having some trouble finding a CSB for my 1998 2.8 (non-tu) manual Z3 roadster. Pelican seems to have CSB's for all models except mine. Does anyone know if any of these CSB's are interchangeable with mine?

If you find out that they're interchangeable, I believe I have a new M on in my box of parts.

Have you run the part number on RealOEM yet to see what applications it is used for?

Use this link for the part number:

http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/Z3/

Then use this link for the OEM part:

http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...?siteid=214760

The prices on that website are pretty good.

I would normally say email vincent at info@bimmerzone.com but I haven't been able to get him to respond to my emails for the last 3 weeks. He can usually get good prices on any OEM part but I tried to get break pads and a cam position sensor from him and never got him to respond.

That's weird, he replies to me almost instantly. Just bought 2 front wheel bearings for the m5 yesterday. Give him a shout, he almost always has the lowest price when I shop around.

I encountered the same problem when I did mine last month .

So it looks like the M and non-M versions of the center support bearing are different?
