Same with control arms starting with the e30, to e36 and e46. The e90 and f30 are different.
A lot of them are hybrids, look at the 1m, front from e90 and rear from e46  |
Nice, did not know that. Well, my mind is set on the F30 4 piston fronts and F30 two piston rears or, F30 4 piston fronts and the e82 two piston rears if the F30 rears are too difficult. I'm going to start with the front and then work on the rears. When I get to that point, I may be bugging you for some help on how to get the rears to work without much modification. You have been an awesome help man
