    e36 m3 bilstein suspesion

    was wondering if anyone know if the B12 Pro-Kit Suspension System

    fits a 99 e36 323is?

    99 M3

    Yes that could be a figment, I say could because the set I looked at on the ECS Tuning website indicated 1995M3 and 1996M-1999M3 fitment.
    The 318/325/323/328 use the same diameter spring ‘hat’ as the 1995M3. The 1996+M3 has a slightly smaller diameter upper spring diameter and ‘hat’.

    Worst case is that you need to purchase the 1996+M3 spring ‘hat’ and upper spring pad.

    I would recommend the E46M3/convertible Rear Shock Mounts and the Z3 Rear Shock Mount Reinforcement Plates.

    Additionally, the 1996+M3 Strut Tower Reinforcement Plates.


    There is an E36 323/325/328 Bilstein B12 Pro Kit # 46-180957

    I still recommend the RSMs and Reinforcement Plates mentioned previously. Also order and install the appropriate paper body gaskets.

    Are you familiar with www.realoem.com?
    Do you know what Model Year these were on previously?

    You can see the part build-up in these types of images (from realism.com), this is for a 1999 M3 (really, 1996-1999)

    You should run the M3 spring “hats”, this is the same image for the 1995M3 (same spring “hat” diameter as 318/323/325/328)
