The M takes offset bushes. I have googled for some time but cannot seem to find an aftermarket alternative. Is BMW the only option?

Early Z3M's had offset bushings, Later Z3M's had central bushings.

Look up part number 31129069035

As mentioned Powerflex PFF5-5601G is what I fitted on my Z4M. The set we fitted were a bit of a pig as they are a tight interference fit but we got it done.

Thanks for the reply. How is the steering feel (road feel) with those in. I am dissapointed with the feel through the M wheel compared to my Z3 which had Z3m front control arm bushings and all new oem the rest in the front. The road feel is fabulous.

Installed them as part of a complete front end refresh so hard to say how these worked specifically. By this time every bush had been changed front and rear and it was also on BC coilovers. Did multiple track days afterwards and was getting to the stage where tyres were the limiting factor.

Wish I could be more specific!
