M3 bushings complete set?

Hi guys,
Keen to replace all bushings front and rear. Surely there's a kit for this? I've checked major online stores but plenty sell individual bushings. Do I have to work out all the names of the different joints?
I would like to use m3 bushings, but keep all my control arms etc.
I have a 330i 130000kms
Any ideas?

If you mean all the bushings for control arms, diff, subframe.....there is no such thing.

Rear upper control arms have sealed monoball bushing so you can't swap that out. And the lower control arm bushings I believe don't fit non M E90s.

Rear nor front sway bar bushing won't fit on your car unless you're already running the thicker M3 spec bar.

Front control arms you'll probably have more success.

The bushings on e90's are not really a convenient part to swap put on its own. They need to be machined off and put back on. It is not an easy task, nor is it something that anyone would choose to do. For the labor, you can get new M control arms with the bushings fitted already.

I went through this ordeal not too long ago. My control arm bushings were shot and for the price of the bushings and install, it was smarter to just upgrade to m3 control arms

Actually the front M3 sway bar bushings and brackets do fit the front 335i sport susp front sway bar. I installed them on my car and they're quite a bit firmer. Both bars are 26.5 mm at the mounting points.
