The wishbone (aka lower control arm) is key to the great driving characteristics of your BMW. The inner bushing naturally wears prematurely and the outer ball joint will also wear and develop play. When either becomes too worn it will ruin the driving experience and possibly cause a suspension failure. We always recommend checking both inner and outer bushings along with the upper control arm (thrust arm) when diagnosing issues.
This is a Genuine BMW control arm with a two year warranty. Buying a Genuine part will usually be more expensive than an OEM or aftermarket brand but you are assured that it meets BMW's designs for fitment, performance, and longevity. It will also be the very latest design, incorporating any updates or revisions that an aftermarket brand typically will ignore.
