Plans for suspension upgrades
I've been reading a lot on this section of the forum and trying to sort through all the information. Thanks to all who have posted.
I have a 2011 335i Coupe with around 25k miles. I had Conti DWS tires and an Mfactory LSD installed last year, shortly after I got the car. Car is a DD (6 miles to work). I have just ordered the following suspension upgrades:
Since my garage is going to be accessing the suspension to install the B12 Pro kit, I figured I might as well do the whiteline inserts and M3 front control arms. Am I missing anything? I don't want to spend too much more, but did want to get the stuff recommended for a DD done. Comments and suggestions welcome.

I'd go full subframe over inserts. Also great non run flat tires if you haven't already with those contis. What's your other mods? Goals for the car? Juicebox/cobb? Brakes? FBO?

Other mods are in my sig - Pure Turbos stage 1, ER CP, AA FMIC (I live in TX). I had JB4 but am planning to go with a custom tune from ProTuning Freaks. Do you mean those Turner aluminum thingies? Not planning to track the car and have kind of maxed my budget for now so plan to try the inserts. I can always do alum subframe bushings later, if the inserts don't work out.

I mean M3, powerflex, or AKG subframe bushings. Way better than inserts. Aluminum is full boat and will give you a little NVH but the others will tighten up the rear a lot more than the inserts.

Thanks for clarifying. Let me check into it.

Unfortunately, I already ordered mine from FCP Euro before I made my original post.
