I have a 96 M3 that was totalled and the Bilsteins were fairly new, I bought a 95 M3 recently will my 96 Bilsteins swap over or is there a difference in design? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't believe the fronts will transfer since they have different part numbers from 95-96. I could be wrong but I thing the strut bearing are totally different designs. Not sure about the rear.

I know that the 96 had the offset strut bearing and the 95 didnt because they ran offset CAB's. I wonder if there is a way of swapping them out. I figure I already have the bilstiens and I need suspension on the new car so why not. Anyone else have more insight?

Front 95 springs use a different spring perch.
