I do know the front two M3 bushings will fit but the rear subframe mount is for sure smaller on the M3.
I have done some pretty extensive research on the bushings and think I might go a different route - upgrading to the Powerflex purple Poly bushings. They have the lowest NVH (Noise, Vibration & Harshness) for poly. and you don't really have to worry about them wearing out like the OEM 335 & M3 bushings.

If anyone wants the OEM M3 (brand new with stickers) front bushings, PM me - I still have them for now, if no-one wants them ill take them back to the dealer for exchange on other parts. I'm now having dreams about BB_Cuda's Alpina trans cover!

So I finally committed to buying the Powerflex purple front and rear for the differential. I also purchased the Powerflex black for the 4 sub frame bushings.
