Difference in strut mounts between regular and sport suspension on E92?
I am installing new coils and want to replace all the shock/strut mounts. But when I look at turners site they list two different kits. BUT they have the same part numbers listed for both. Is there really a difference between the regular suspension and the sport suspension strut/shock mounts?

non-sport front strut guides are lighter and a little taller (about .25 inch) than the sport guides. I'm guessing the weight could be due to aluminum vs steel construction, but I'm not 100% sure.
The sport suspension has shorter bumpstops, and it's possible that the durometer is higher on them, but that is just a guess. If you are getting new coilovers, they should have their own bumpstops though, and either strut guide will work since you can adjust the height on the coilover. |

Don't all E92s come with the sport suspension? Why would there be parts for a "regular" E92 suspension? Or am I missing something?

Well that may have changed then. All pre-lci E92's imported to the USA by BMWNA used to automatically come with the sport suspension package.
