034Motorsports Subframe Inserts?

Hi all, has anyone used these? I spoke with someone at 034Motorsports and they confirmed that they will also fit the E9X M3!

I guess it might be a decent incremental step to reduce slop in the sub frame mounts - without the need to drop the entire rear sub frame. However I would recommend dropping it and installing solid mounts if you want actual detectable improvement.

Agreed, was just trying to avoid all that work. It sucks because I'm now realizing these won't fit the E9X M3. Looks like it's non-M only. :-(

I looked into it a year ago and they told me they would not fit the M3 models.

I thought it would be worthwhile if they were significantly easier/quicker to install. If comparable labor, go straight to solid for sure.

I spoke with a few people and confirmed they won’t work. The M3 bushing doesn’t have a void like the non M3 bushings do (which these would fill to make them stiffer).

These are for non M. M3 subframe bushings OEM have a different design from the non M
