E61 Front Wishbones - E60 vs E61
I have just had a pair of front wishbones delivered for my 2005/09 530i Motorsport E61 and the part numbers don't match what is shown for my car in RealOEM. 
My car should be 31126768297/31126768298 LH/RH.
I received 31126760181/31126760182 LH/RH.
RealOEM shows 31126760181 & 182 as applicable to E60 models only (not E61).
31126768297 is applicable to a number of E60, E60N, E61 and E61N models.
My question is was there any change to the front suspension in the E61's life and the P/N change due to physical differences or just a production update?

Not sure if it helps you, but The pic for my car looks different and the part number (15) is 31126774827 and 31126774828... You sure you've got the right pic? Did you put in the last 7 digits of your VIN in RealOEM?
