Suplex Springs

[MikeMcG]

Anyone know if the E46 M3 Suplex rear springs are the same for the Z4M?

Tried looking on RealOEM and the part number doesn't seem to be there for the OEM rear spring otherwise I'd have compared the part numbers of the E46 M3 and Z4M.

thanks

Part number IS on realOEM, just not where you'd expect it
Part number: 33507836827

found here: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=BT93-USA-03-2006-E85-BMW-Z4_M32&diagId=33_1335
and not here (where I, and I expect you, first looked): http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=BT93-USA-03-2006-E85-BMW-Z4_M32&diagId=33_1324

part number for e46 M3 rear spring: 33532283136
(earlier versions of the e46 m3 used part number: 33532229491)

BMW 2000-2006 M3 Convertible
BMW 2000-2006 M3 Coupe
Fits 3 Series, E46, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, M3, Coupe, Convertible

Part Name BARREL SPRING REAR:333520
Part Number: 33-53-2-283-136 (33532283136)
Rear Barrel Spring

So I'm guessing it's not OEM-compatible

Thanks guys, well answers my question anyway. I won't gamble on the M3 springs being the same

standard z4 springs are a little thinner,may give a better ride,way cheaper though.
