Hi,

Q1. As per title- but more specifically, has anyone upgraded standard front upper and lower control arms (upper and lower) to M3 spec ? Apparently fairly straightforward to do and brings benefits of less compliant/soggy bushings and some negative camber. I'm bored with the initial understeer and fairly dull steering feedback to the point that I'd rather drive a Mk 1 Focus on my local Dorset roads.

Q2. Has anyone got experience of garages in either Bristol or Dorset way that can be entrusted with this?

Thanks is advance

Car in question: N53 e93 SE 2007 55 k miles. Non runflats

if you don't get answer here, maybe check out e90postUK if you haven't already. Sure that's where I read about this option when considering it on my 335i,

15 miles from Cribss Causeway are these guys. I've found them excellent and trust them with my M3.

Try Eden Motors in Yeovil. You will need a four wheel alignment afterwards.

LCAs are an easy swap as far as I know. I don't know if there are any other requirements, but I suspect not as the E92/93 doesn't have adaptive headlights like the M135/M140i, which needs additional regulator rods.

You'll need a realignment afterwards.

I don't know about upper control arms.
