Hi all looking at upgrading the suspension to the b12 kit and should really change the suspension top mounts front and rear. Scrolled through a few threads but can't really see and advice on branding of new top mounts or links to buy them. Before I go to the " sealers " has anyone got and advice which to buy online with any internet links

Kind regards

if you dont go OEM make sure you use the reinforcement plates!

BMW is OEM.
What I mean is if you go for a smaller adjustable top mount make sure you use re-enforcement plates.
If you use a standard style or top mount then you don't need that.

Lemforder is OEM.

Get this with the rear bump stops if you haven't already got new ones: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MEYLE-BMW-E36 ... SwcF9UU4qn

If you have just get this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-E30-E36-E ... SwstxVZFsI

The B12 ront dampers have an integrated bump stop.

For the front mounts don't get Corteco, get Lemforder which is OEM. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Suspension ... Sw-0xYfnBz

Thanks so it's lenforder is oem NOT as in the previous post BMW, didn't think I was being stupid ! Thought it was lenforder or meyle

And the rear which are listed, will fit the z4 as there listed for e36/ E46 ? I know a few parts are interchangeable between e46 and e86 's

Yes they fit, I thought it said Z4 in the description too.

OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer
BMW don't directly make most of their parts, Lemforder is the brand they fitted in this case.

I actually misunderstood your question. My reply was correct, if you buy over the counter, from BMW, its OEM.

Thats what I meant, stupid or otherwise.
