BimmerWorld Tubular Race Front Control Arms - E46 M3, E36 M3

Our E46 M3 tubular race front control arms are stronger and lighter than stock parts and built specifically to correct the altered roll-center on cars with lowered ride heights. These arms optimize geometry and add grip to your front suspension, making them a must-have for any competition E46 (where rules allow).

Available in E46 M3 width only, these arms can be used on E36 or E46 non-M cars in conjunction with extended tie rods for significantly wider track - approximately 1.5" per side, eliminating the need for scrub-radius increasing spacers. The rear bushings (bearings) are sold separately - see our Related Items below (note E46 and E36 are different bearings).

These arms were originally developed for sprint races but have now been reengineered with more robust construction to be very durable, even for endurance racing. Our arms have been engineered and tested for performance and durability over many seasons in various classes.

M3 Tubular Control Arm features:

• 4130 Chromoly steel construction
• Fully TIG welded, heat treated, and stress relieved
• Powder coated gloss black finish
• Lightweight - 6 lbs. per side (approximately 1 lb. lighter than E46 M3, and 3 lbs. lighter than E36)

Kit includes one pair of arms, Aurora spherical bearings for center and outer joints, and all spacers and hardware.

Note 1: modification of stock spindle is required - parts can be sent to our shop for the modification (please contact us prior to sending).

Note 2: as with any part - but especially high stress parts in racing - there is a lifespan and replacement interval. Annual inspection should be done on all surfaces and welds to ensure no cracks are forming. Periodic replacement will be required depending on abuse and time in service.
