335 M Sport Suspension Fit on a 340i Sportline?

Was looking at a M Performance setup but install costs are hefty.

So looking at this option. Would the 335 M Sport suspension fit a 340i? Are the strut mounts different or something? THanks!

Install cost between the M-sport suspension, M-Performance suspension, or any coilover setup should be damn near identical. They are all replacing the same parts, just with different grades of hardware.

+1.

Also, strutmount changed from 3 to 5 bolt sometime pre lci. Just get m-performance suspension for 340i @ethan.

Strut mounts changed on the 335i to a 5 bolt pattern around Jan 2015 production date. My '15 335 has the newer 5 bolt pattern. So - if you found a late Pre-LCI 335i suspension setup, it could be an option.
