BMW Roundel Which Bushings to use, 95 M3 or 96+ M3?? PLEASE ADVISE

Hi everyone.
I have a 1996 BMW 328i Cabrio, and my lower control arm bushings are bad. I read online somewhere, that you can replace those with the M3 bushings, which are stronger.

Now I saw somewhere that the 1995 M3 bushings (which are offset) are better, etc..... here is what they said........

*Offset design emulates BMW's M Series geometry, allows larger wheel & tire fitment, increases caster thereby high speed stability. A must if lots of negative camber is used.

*Our offset bushings increase caster causing better weight distribution and high speed stability, also helping to reduce the push associated with BMW's. These are a must for serious track work.

*Unlike Delrin Offset bushings which are not recommended for street use , Ours are APPROVED and RECOMMENDED for street use because they are not as hard on the ball joints as Delrin

*Promotes enhanced steering response

*Eliminates typical BMW shaking problems.


Ok, so my question to all of you is... which one should I use.... the M3 96+ or the 95 M3 bushings for my 96 328i cabrio.

Thanks for your input..

Abel
