Euro '02s had them too, and the E3 & E9 models.
There were two thicknesses, 20 & 12mm. I think the 20mm were just for the US cars.

No, all us 2002's had em on top of the strut and under the body. Many people take them off and put them on top like this to get the proper ride height and take up the extra length of strut mount bolts.

Thanks John, so did i get that right, US 2002's had those to give them a higher ride height?
Now that you mention it, i *did* see some 2002 with real long strut mount bolts standing out.
