hi

curious if anyone has used Beck/Arnley M3 front control arms on the 335i? im assuming should be the same as TRW OEM replacement? i found the Beck version in canada for approx $140 total for all 4 cheaper then TRW but cant find any reviews on quality?

Rockauto for canada only carries BECK hence i question it.

thanks

There were other instances where TRW has sold to other white-label companies and they were the same part.

Afraid you'll prolly have to buy them to find out...

The Beck Arnley rear M3 arms appear to be the same as TRW arms and are priced accordingly. They have the scratched out M logo and the same markings as TRW arms. The bearings appear to be TRW as well.




The much cheaper Beck Arnley front M3 arms don't look like TRW arms. No markings on the aluminum and the bearings do not match the TRW ones. They look similar to the crappy ones fe1rx had issues with here: https://www.1addicts.com/forums/showpost.php?p=24794368

I just got the TRW m3 front lower control arms. Plan on dropping them in within the next week or two.
