LCI Control Arms on Pre LCI?

ThatGreyE90 · 10-07-2019, 05:53 PM

I drive an 06 330i and I hit a curb pretty hard on my front driver side the other day. I found a guy selling oem arms off a 2011 328i and was curious if they would work. Now I gotta save for a fender, bumper, and wheels sadly. Or if you guys have any recommendations on aftermarket replacements any help is appreciated

Control arms are the same for pre/post LCI.

I'd not bother fitting used ones personally, unless they were near new and an awesome deal. TRW or Lemforder replacements are probably the OE parts anyhow.

While you're at it, why not upgrade to M3 arms? Direct fit....

Plus a realignment.

Yes, geometry after the swap!

If I go with used arms I'm going to be upgrading to poly mounts so it will be a refresh and I'm on a budget right now or else I would upgrade to M3 arms
