Just looking at it and it's size looks exactly like an e46 nonm mount. The e90 is aluminum, more dense rubber, same size as the e36, and uses longer studs because there is a factory strut bar on them. Clamp the spring hat and lowest coil possible and compress it, otherwise, you're kinda out of luck to get it on without improper install or difficulties.

Bluebimma, the notes that came with the strut mount said to remove the extra bolt for an e36. I am using non-m strut mounts. I might look into the e90 mounts. Are they direct bolt in? When you say hd for a ti, do you mean heavy duty?
Also, my strut compressor, cheap harbor freight one, does not compress the spring far enough to put it on the new strut. Anyone have any ideas on a better spring compressor? I run out of thread on the compressor before the spring is short enough to get threads on through the strut mount.
Thanks for the help! |
