All E46 convertible rear top mounts are the same from the 318 to the M3csl. Don't get fooled into paying more for an M3 part. The Z4 also uses the same part.

Don't forget to also get the top mount reinforcement plates from the Z3.

No that's the mounts and gaskets, the reinforcing plates will be extra.

It seems lemforder ones from ECP are now all pretty much the same.

Picked up some Z3 ones the other day to find they were the same as the E46/Z4.

I have ordered the HD rear mounts

Would these be good reinforcement place?
