Heads UP!!! M3 Control Arms good price

borinous · 11-18-2016, 03:37 AM

Morning all,

Finally bit the bullet and had to order some new front control arms. was trying to hold out till after xmas but the vibration under braking was driving me mad and the front just feels loose.

ended up ordering from this seller

http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/mister-auto-uk

got all 4 front arms for £174.48 delivered which i think is a pretty good price. they are listed as 1 series but the part number is the correct TRW number and the compatibility list states E90 M3 so should be ok....

1series and 3series are the same chassis.

Let us know what you think of the difference after install. I would like to do this as well and would be good to hear an opinion from someone who has driven the before and after

Have you got a link to the listing you got so i can search for it?

Or did you have to find each item and add to a basket etc?

mjn77 · 11-18-2016, 04:03 PM

Yeah, i can't see a kit with all four arms.....

KJMotorsport · 11-21-2016, 06:07 AM

By the looks of it they would need to be added individually to a basket, but even still a very good price!

mjn77 · 11-21-2016, 03:10 PM

Yup, I'll probably get a set.

I just searched for the part numbers and added them to my basket. they had a promotion on delivery as well so was only £6.5.

all the other listings where nearly double so im hoping they are genuine? ill only know once i receive them.

yep the listings state 1 series but then the compatibility is listed as E9X M3.

So they are either genuine or the listing is wrong......will only know once i receive them

they'll be fine - don't worry. I did the change on my old e92 335i.
One thing you will need to do, is get the M3 headlight leveller if you have xenons. The normal leveller is attached by a clamp type thing. The M3 one is a nut and bolt type.
