It looks like the M3 (95 included?) used 2 per side as shown. The non-M e36 cars have only the top mount.
It's my understanding the the 95 M3 only has one per side like the other 3 series cars.. it's the newer E36 M3s that have 2 per side.

honestly, i was totally unaware that this type of balljoint even existed until another member had his whole deal apart.

it's a unique setup for sure.. and like any other balljoint they do go bad and allow for movement.
