Hydrobearing replacement with M3 one

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone tried to replace the front hydrobearing (in traction strut) using the M3 one?

I know the rear axle of the X1 can be upgraded using M3 parts (including subframe bushings), but the front axle is quite different and we can't swap parts. That said, it seems to me the M3 hydrobearing could fit the traction struts of the X1. So i'm curious if someone here has tried.

Hydrobearing of the X1 (green):


And the same part on a E82, on which the M3 hydrobearing fits:


Thank you.
