I believe so. Even if it doesn't, it also doesn't have TWIN TURBO, meaning there is much less chance of having any issues with these bushings.

N51 SULEV has the 3-stage intake manifold, gets better MPG, and produces the same horsepower AT A LOWER COMPRESSION RATIO, meaning it has more potential than the N52 engine.

Camber plates
Apex ARC-8 or EC-7 (lighter unsprung weight) for summer
Hankook Rs-3 for summer
...and no way I'd have an automatic

Hmm, will look into these parts as well. Thanks for being one of the first to actually bring some helpful advice to the table other than "buy a 335i"
