Does it come with busshings?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Yes. They are preinstalled into the control arms as pitured.
Question Posted by a customer
Since this control arm is the M, does the logo M kept on the arms that would look nicer?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
No. The M logo is a BMW trademark. For TRW to sell these arms directly any BMW trademarking must be removed. Genuine BMW control arms which would have the M logo on them are $754.14 at current pricing vs $214.70 for the TRW packaged arms which is a significant pricing difference keeping in mind there is no functional or quality difference.

I have a 2007 e92 320d m sport, will this kit fit and upgrade my model? Many thanks in advance!
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
The 320d is not sold in the United States and so therefore is not going to be part of our app guide. However, these control arms fit all E9X rear wheel drive cars so it will fit your vehicle.

I just wanted to kno wat will happen if I align my car to the 328i alignment specs. Do I have to make sure i align It to m3 specs and why?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
The only specification to be worried about when aligning the car with this kit is toe angle. Camber is automatically increased because of the rearward arms being longer. Camber is mostly non-adjustable on E9X chassis cars. Toe ultimately dictates tire wear and is the most important front alignment specification. This is basically the same spec between all E9X cars.

Would this fit a 2013 f30 335i
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
No, this fits E92/E93 chassis models only. F30 control arms are completely different. For an F30 you would need to order F8X M3/M4 control arms.

Does this kit change the ride height? I'm looking for a suspension upgrade for my 2010 n54 135i to improve handling and lower the car a little. Please make a recommendation if this kit is not the best option.
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Control arms do not dictate ride height. In the case of this kit these control arms will change the alignment specs of the vehicle closer to those of the E9X M3 with an increased track width adding negative camber. In addition the inner bushings are optimized to reduce deflection under load. To physically change the ride height you would need to either replace the coil springs with lowering springs or look into a coilover or cup kit. We have plenty of options under suspension for your year and model. It all comes down to what your budget it.

Does this contain the thrust busching? Mine are starting to ooze fluid and I want to upgrade at the same time as replacing them, thanks!!
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Yes. The bushing is pre-installed in the thrust arm as pictured. It's not an additional item as it's considered part of the control arm itself.

Do you need the m3 control arm installation kit in order to install this if you don't have an m3 just a regular 3 series
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
It is highly recommended to replace the bolts included with the installation kit as they are stretch bolts. The hardware is the same between the M3 and non M3 applications but it is not recommended to reuse it.
