M3 Upgrade Control Arm Kit - Front
A complete kit of everything needed to change your front-end control arms to M3 specification using parts from the direct supplier to BMW.
Description
For driving enthusiasts, a number of the factory M3 parts are available as direct bolt-on items for all E8x 1 Series and E9x 3 Series models including the 135i and 335i.
We've put together this kit of everything needed to change your front-end control arms to M3 specification using parts from the direct supplier to BMW. These lighter aluminium control arms feature fluid-free performance bushings and stiffer ball joints to improve handling and braking response for spirited driving, without being overly harsh or unforgiving for everyday use.
The arms also offer around 0.60 - 0.75 degrees of additional negative camber. On the road, the additional negative camber translates to better steering feel, sharper turn-in and overall more grip. This kit is a great upgrade for all E8x 1 Series and E9x 3 Series models and will fit regardless of whether your car was optioned with M Sport suspension.
Our kit includes:
- TRW Front Control Arm - Left & Right
- TRW Front Tension Strut - Left & Right
- BMW Genuine Headlight Level Sensor Rod
Helpful tips
We offer three different M3 upgrades kits: These Front Control Arms, Rear Control Arms, and a Subframe Bushing set. For the best overall improvement, consider replacing your run-flat tyres with high-performance summer tyres.
