hi, im thinking of replacing most of the rubber bushes on my e30 along with a few other parts such as wisbones and suspension top mounts to make it feel newish again. am i right in thinking that i can use M3 bushes all round? if so how will this effect ride comfort and handeling compared to standard parts. also i remeber reading somwhere that i can use e36 or e46 top mounts at the back, is this true ? if so which ones are the right ones to use ?
cheers

the M3 used eccentric front wishbone bushes. These are worth having as they relate more feedback through the wheel. Otherwise providing you get the bushes from BMW you will have a nicely bushed car.

The rear topmounts are the same on most 3's people like the e46 M3 cab top mounts and the Z3 used a metal re-inforcement plate aswell which is probably worth having.
Bollocks to this 24v scrap!
