Another post to keep this alive...
I am about to order a new set of control arms or bushings.
My 06 330i has 240,000 miles, so I always have to consider how much to sink into it.
I have three options as summarized by all of the previous posts
1. Buy just the bushings and press out the old and in the new. Tempting to save the $$, but will likely regret it once I start trying to press out 240,000 mile bushings.
2. OEM replacement kit from FCP Euro for just over $300.
3. M3 upgrade kit for just $40 more than OEM, plus $45 for new hardware.
Question is, so I REALLY need M3 stuff on this tired old car? Probably...
I understand that anytime you mess with suspension components an alignment is recommended. However, looking at these parts, there is no adjustment to them?! Everyone posts that their alignment was way off when they upgraded to the M3 kit. I thought that was part of the whole point in doing the upgrade as the M3 has different alignment settings.
Are you all getting the car aligned to M3 specs or back to your car's stock settings?
