Can you get away with just doing the Upper Control arm & not the lower control arm ?
I bought mine from fcpeuro.com but I think you can shop them and might see better prices. Try oembimmerparts.com , ecstuning.com, rmeuropean.com, turnermotorsports.com. There are probably others.

I think it's possible to do only one set at a time. I started with the wishbones (lower control arms) because I already had Meyle HD tension struts. A couple thousand miles later, I decided to go ahead and replace the Meyle tension struts as well since I liked the M3 feel.

Only concern I would have with regard to only one set: would having stronger bushings on one set shift more force on the other set and cause them to wear faster? I have no experience to suggest this but wondered about it.
