    I would like to get my hands on an NOS E46 strut mount from the mid 2000s to measure. I really think they must have been shorter than the E90 but its hard to say for sure. When I was at the dealership during that time period we did our own alignments and I really don't recall being surprised at how tall E46s were with new mounts, but maybe I just didn't do enough or the fact it was 15+ yrs ago.

    Either way if you use the E46/E90 mount the car is going to be a monster truck up front until the mounts start to collapse with age.

    Swapping to the Z4 mount with reinforcement plates seems to be the sweet spot.

    Z4 mounts are 10mm shorter than E46 stock mounts. Z4 mounts are one of the oldest and most popular mods on the E46, at least outside the US.
