Lower control arms

So I can't decide o what control arms to get..

335 pollybushed or m3. Don't want it to ruin the ride. Both about the same price so it's more people's feedbacks I'm after.
What would you get and why.

I went M3. I didn't notice a difference in ride quality, just a little more precise front handling.

I replaced mine with stock. The fluid filled bushings are supposed to be more comfortable than the m3 arms with the solid bearing.

I went poly with an e46 a few years ago, awful in the cold weather and totally ruined the ride with extra harshness, but it was tighter - it's all very subjective to be honest.

Probably worthwhile in warmer Countries, annoyed me that much, swapped them out for Meyle OE's and didn't look back.

I got a price for the 335i ones today and for a pair it's 170. So might aswell upgrade 4 to the m3.ones. and risk the ride..

Changing to none runflats soon so it should counter out he harshness
