m3 suspension part compatibility

Hey guys,

I have an 08 e92 335xi, which i put the kw v3 coilovers on. I am now looking to further enhance the handling. PS2's will be put on as soon as the weather gets back to warm, and I am looking to do some m3 parts.

I have heard that the m3 rear sway, in conjunction with the m3 bushings for the front stock bar is a great combo.

Any other suggestions? I would REALLY appreciate if someone would help me out with part numbers etc. as to just what I need to get this car as m3 as it can be.

Thanks in advance

Have everything I want to do to the car done already. It has more than enough power, and looks fantastic. The only thing I want is better handling. I have seen posts on the forum about it, and just want a nice list.

The XI's only take advantage of rear M3 components. All front components from the M3 are a no go. The M3 rear sway is likely not worth it at this stage. Minor stiffness for a huge cost. Will you be going to the track frequently? Check out Mr 5 and Orb's discussion threads.

I'm more just looking for a little less body roll in turns. I heard bushings make the biggest difference, and would likely do the sways at the same time.

Changing for coilovers will yield a much greater impact, although the v3s are still not correctly matched.

I've already got a set of v3's on there

I remember orb saying that the m3 rear sway in conjunction with the sway bushings front and rear is a good combination to go with the v3's.

I was just wondering the part numbers for these, and if there are any other bushings etc. that I can get installed at the same time in order to save on labor costs.
