M3 control arms and coilovers conflict?
Is their any conflict or fitment issues when it comes to full m3 control arm kit and coilovers being on a 335is?

The only fitment issue is on the rear, the rear M3 shock mounts differently than the non-M.

I have front M3 arms and KWV2 coilovers, there's no issues, they go great together.
I have not bothered with rear M3 arms because I don't think it's a worthwhile upgrade unless you're replacing worn out arms, they're not actually any stiffer. Just lighter and maybe more durable. |

The shock mounts to the camber arm in the back. If you've replaced all of the suspension arms with M3 parts, you will not be able to mount your rear shock if you use a 335i coilover kit.

thanks for all the replies. If I wanted to put the full m3 arm kit and wanted to run coilovers. would I be left with having to use m3 coilovers?

You could go with something like this: https://groundcontrolstore.com/colle...gle-adjustable Its a kit made for the E9x non-m cars that includes the aluminum M3 lower link and is set up to attach to the M3 link. |
