For sale is a e93 m3 rear sway bar(23.6mm) and powerflex black bushings for them and I can confirm they fit... So I'm an idiot and ordered the wrong sway bar and bushings. I figured that the e93 M3 rear sway bar could work on my e90 sedan and was wrong. Turns out, when I was raising the subframe, the angle is slightly different on the ends of the sway bar and they hit the control arms. So i'm assuming the e93 M3 rear sway bar only works for other 3 series convertibles I tried installing it in May and haven't gotten around to trying to sell it til now. There's some scrapes and chips in the paint of the sway bar from the install, and there's some lube on the bushings from the install. But everything is unused and so beyond the wear from bumping into things while installing it, these are new. Bushings come with some unopened packets of powerflex silicone lube. Images of bushings, sway bar, and receipts found here: View post on imgur.com Sold together for $160 shipped. Will knock off $30 if you pickup. EDIT: sold at much lower because I came to the conclusion it's probably not the right sway bar, but the bushings are still correct. Someone risked it to try.

I didn't really since I was pretty frustrated with the whole thing and didn't really think about it. I made a thread asking about it in the xdrive subforum. But it bumps into the front upper control arm and is off by like an inch.

Yes, that doesn't sound right. The E90/E92 M3 bar is the same piece and the E93 is only a mm thicker and I know they've been installed in non M E90/E92's.

Also I installed the swaybar while the subframe was almost off and only held up only by a jack and stands while attached to the lower rear control arms (still a tight fit since I didn't want to disconnect brake lines). I then attached the sway bar to the same mounting holes I have the current e92 m3 sway bar attached to. I then lined it up and raised it to where the end links are supposed to go and everything was dandy. Then finally I tried installing the upper front control arms and those controls arms would hit the sway bar for me, which did not happen when i switched to the other bar. Either way I'm not gonna mislead people and say that it goes in perfectly since I couldn't get it to fit in my e90xdrive and if someone else wants to experiment then they can feel free cause this is a pretty good deal lol.

https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=661459 I don't know what happened with yours. I don't doubt that you couldn't get it to fit. And it is a good deal, do I just want to drop the subframe again though...hmmm

- I don't mean disrespect, but do you have a source that they're all exactly the same? Or where are the few differences, if any, in the subframe geometry? I'm a little bit curious since I didn't get it to work, I didn't find mention of this fact in that e93 install diy guide, and in the end I don't feel like trying to match sku numbers on subframes and control arms haha. - As a side note and for example I do know the stock e93 rear sway bar is different from the stock e90/92 sway bar minimally by the thickness, so there is potentially more differences between the 2 sway bars and the subframe geometry's, just looking at it from a stock setup perspective being aware that they did it on purpose due to the extra weight from being a convertible. - Just for clarification purposes, I meant earlier that e90/92 vs e90/92 xdrive have the same rear subframes not that all non-m e9x's have the same rear subframe. - And if you decide to buy or if someone else decides to buy, I just want our research to be on the same page cause I don't want to screw you over haha. |
