Will 1M suspension fit an E81?

Hi Im looking at buying the shocks and Springs from a 1M and fitting them to my E81 118D. Can anyone confirm if they will fit? Cheers James

Simple answer is NO

Complete answer, to fit 1m/m3 shocks you need the following
Rear lower arm to mount shock
front wheel carrier from 1M/m3 with 1m/m3 front brakes to mount shock body and have brakes


You can try springs - they will work with normal e87 parts, but do not expect to lower your car, the 1m is heavier and as such will not give expected results.
