    1. Shows that you offer them for the Z3 & MZ3 are these 2 different parts? I ask because the ETK shows 2 totally different part numbers for the FCAB for Z3 and MZ3
    You will note the difference is not the bracket, but just the bushing. Just like the E36, the difference between a standard non-M and the M3 is the bushing material itself, not a difference in geometry or any other dimension (the sole exception being the '95 M3 with unique offset bushings, but MZ3 never shared that).

    They've proven to be rock-solid. We had made an early update where the bearings were pre-lubed, but that's it.

    Exactly what I needed to know, Thank you for the info. Hate to ask but since I could not find a good pic of the part; Is the bearing a sealed bearing or will it need to be re-lubed every so often.

    It can be disassembled and re-lubed if it seems necessary... but given the design, the lubrication is mostly captive and should last a very long time.

    This exploded view video (E46 version, but the only difference is the hole shape) gives you an idea how they come apart, the rear retainer is a spring clip that can be removed with a clip tool or pick:
