TSB for update 5 bolts upper strut mount
I heard today that there is a TSB to update from 3 to 5 bolts the upper strut mount. I am getting camber plate which is 5 bolts.
After searching could not find TSB. Can somebody share? thank you! |

Not sure I follow. Are you saying that BMW is going to retrofit all 3 bolt to 5 bolt?
That would involve some drilling and suspension plate hardware. What would be the reason? |

Not aware of any TSB, but BMW made the switch from 3-bolt to 5-bolt on M3/M4 in 1/15+ production.

My car was produced in 2014. I plan to install camber plate and was told all F82 had 5 holes so it wont be an issue getting camber with 5 bolts. Seems like it could not be the case. I also realized the strut aluminum brace would have additional holes.

Most likely you'll need 3-bolt but verify under the hood to be 100% sure.

Companies like Ground Control (which we use) and most respected Coilover manufacturers will offer 3 or 5 bolt setups.
