OK, not sure if there is any interest here because no one has replied, but bimmerworld got back to me and these are M10 bolts, not M12 like we need up front. However, in thinking about this, I have two options: asked them if they can get me M12 ends on that length of a link, OR simply do some clay style steel epoxy around the M10 bolt to make it fit an M12 size hole since we are technically not threading things at the M12 size, but rather just going through that size a hole, then when you put their M10 nut on the back side it will seal the epoxy in there and there will be no opportunity for it to move. I'll let the epoxy dry before mounting of course, lol.
Between the two washers sealing the epoxy in there and the pressure of the nut and bolt clamping onto the strut and sway bar, I don't think this will move at all. M12 to M10 is a difference of only 1/16th of an inch anyway.
This would ALSO be the solution for the rears where there is an M10 end and an M12 end. Order a link with the lower of the two and apply the same solution on your M10 bolt going through the M12 hole. Luky
