BMW Control Arm Replacements & Upgrades for BMW 1 Series E82 (2008-2013)

The rear lower control arms on E82/E9X models are the weakest link in the rear suspension. The arm is made from folded sheetmetal and it bends and deforms easily. Not only will it deform from potholes and curbs, tow truck drivers love to hook onto them without realizing how weak they are. We have seen other race teams complete the box section to make them stronger. A bent arm will throw off the geometry in the suspension, potentially affecting handling and tire wear. These aluminum arms are both lighter and stronger than the factory sheetmetal arms and is the best solution for chronic bending of the stock arm. These are a direct replacement to your stock arms with no changes needed to your alignment. New high-grade hardware is included.

Note: the stock arm is designed from the factory to be intentionally weak. These arms will bend so that something else in the suspension does not break. Our race cars used the stock sheetmetal arm but we replaced them often. We found that it was better to finish a race with a bent arm than not finish due to a catastrophic failure. The ECS arms are still designed to be the weakest link but are far stronger than the factory arm and will not bend as easily.

Genuine BMW Repair Kit, Wishbone, Right - 31122405860

BMW E9X M3/1M Rear Upper Control Arm Upgrade Kit is the ultimate solution for enhancing control and handling in non-M 1 or 3-Series vehicles. This upgrade is not only highly recommended but is one of the most effective enhancements available. The M3 control arms are crafted from solid aluminum, replacing the factory's weak sheet-metal control arms. This is crucial for BMWs equipped with power upgrades or sportier tires, as the factory arms tend to flex and twist, leading to instability and unpredictable handling.

Key features of the M3 control arms include a robust design with a sealed monoball bushing, allowing for rotation instead of twisting. This results in significantly more predictable and precise handling without sacrificing ride quality. There are no downsides to this upgrade.

Kit Includes:

• M3 rear upper guide links
• M3 rear upper wishbone arms
• ABS brackets

For additional enhancement, subframe bushings and sway bars from the M3 can also be integrated.

Benefits:

• Improved Handling: Provides precise steering response and enhances overall vehicle control.
• Enhanced Durability: Solid aluminum construction offers superior strength compared to factory options.
• Easy Installation: Designed for a direct fit, making upgrades straightforward.
• Seamless Compatibility: Works well with existing components and further upgrades.

Worn control arm bushings can cause steering slop and overall inhibit your vehicle's performance. This listing is for a Genuine BMW front inner control arm bushing.
