2012 F30 strut mount and bolt
My car's production year is 2012. The strut mount has 3 holes and uses M8.
Based on realoem the mount part number is 31306855817/31306855818 and the bolt number is 31306862826. But unfortunately they are all discontinued and nowhere to buy. Anybody knows if I can use the newer part 31306880438 with 3 M10 bolts instead? Thx! The left is the M10 31306863134 bolt and the right is mine. |

I understand the M10 bolt will not fit my current strut mount which takes M8 bolts. My question is if I can use the M10 bolt with a new strut mount which takes M10 bolts. I want to replace the strut mount also and it's hard to buy a strut mount which takes M8 bolts now. |

When I ordered the strut mounts from FCP Euro (PN#31306880438) they shipped me the hex bolts with washers (PN# 31306863134). The kit offers the same bolts & washers: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...le-31306880438 IIRC my stock hex bolts + washers are taller (see picture): I would imagine the newer PN#31306880438 should fit into your strut tower however, the m8 bolt holes would presumably be smaller, right? Cant' tell if the below is pure shipping dimension or not, i can measure my Meyle's for you (PN# ...38) Additionally, per (https://www.schmiedmann.com/en/produ...=31306855817B1) your specs are: 28x10x17 cm The same appears to be true on the PN# ...38 28x10x17 cm (https://www.schmiedmann.com/en/produ...=31306880438B1)

There are 3 top mounts for our cars:
3 x M8 (pre-mid 2014) 3 x M10 (mid-2014-2015) 5 (and 6) x M8 (2016-) BMW kept using the previous model until they were gone, so there is no set date to look up to determine which you have. You have to lift the hood and check it out. The M10 have a thicker washer FWIW |

The holes themselves line up perfectly. |

I measured the size of the hole and it's just slightly smaller than 10mm ;( Guess have to trim the hold a bit if I have to replace given there is no where to find the part. Sad to receive little love as early year owner. |
