Sorry to post on your for sale thread, where did you buy your M3 control arms? I'm in the market for them now and have been shopping around

Not OP, but I bought my kit from OEM Bimmer Parts.

http://www.oembimmerparts.com/BMW_E9...3577kitoem.htm

It was a pretty good deal imo. I paid $333 last December. The only issue is that when I was reviewing the install process found here: http://blog.bavauto.com/14819/ it was mentioned that I should replace all of the locking nuts, but the kit only came with one nut per suspension piece. I guess they assumed that the nut on the other end of each piece would be reused.


To be on the safe side, considering that this is the suspension we're talking about, I went ahead and ordered the other 4 locking nuts from Bavauto. It's BMW Part #31 10 6 755 474 in case you want to look it up elsewhere. I haven't had the chance to do the install yet, so I can't vouch for the before/after differences yet.


I mainly decided to go this route since my bushings have leaked all of their fluid away, and since I'm replacing the control arms already(the ball joints can't be replaced separately), then may as well get the M3 upgrade.
