I purchased some Whiteline subframe inserts for my 335D a while ago. I was planning on doing the install today, so I was quickly reading some forum how-to's, and it appears that the kit I got wont fit my car?

I purchased the kit form fcpeuro, and on the website it says the kit fits my car. But when I go to powerflexes website, it shows that there is a different kit for the diesels/e91's.

So some more digging, and it appears the the kit I have will fit, but only on the 'rear' subframe mount??? I guess diesels and e91's came with different subframe bushings.

can anyone shed some light on this please, I would hate to get everything all set up for install, to realize that the shite wont fit!

You can check the part numbers for 335i and 335d but I think they are the same.

Yes, Thanks for the reply. On the manufactures website it says, will not fit diesel models. But fcpeuro says it will. I'm going to trust that the manufacture knows more than the distributor, and that these will not fit.

Whiteline says it won't fit:

Interesting! I would like to know what the difference is.

Looks like the rear mounts are different part numbers (#3), as are the "stoppers" #4 and #5:

335d

voids inside (where inserts would fit) appear to be shaped differently:

Great, thank you!!!

So, it appears that the fronts are the same then...rears are different.

I guess powerflex is my only option for inserts.

Sorry to jump on this thread, but will the AKG fit the 335d then?

[shnaggs]

I don't see any subframe (inserts) on there website. Maybe I didn't look hard enough.
Just to be clear, you know we are talking about inserts that fit into the stock bushing?

I ended up ordering power flex inserts. Got them in, then realized that the yellows felt really soft. So I sent them back, and now I'm awaiting for the black inserts.

AKG makes only complete bushings.

Yes, i have the 75D ones awaiting installation. Read this thread and got worried. Complete bushings should fit fine in a 335d right?

Complete bushings would with any e9x subframe, both non M and M.
