e30 ones have the metal sleeve on the rod of the damper, e46 cab oned have it moulded into the mount. less likely to part company.

firmer rubber too-well worthwhile mod!

Zimmerbimmer1 on here can supply top mounts at £22 ish. Well worth the money!

Will be £41 ish with reinforcing plates, though zedone might have a few reinforcing plates left:

Whatever you do with the rear top mounts, it won't change the rear camber. You can only change the rear camber with eccentric trailing arm bushes or a modified rear subframe.
