These can be purchased used for cheap and new bushings can be pressed in easily. One of our Mid Atlantic drivers, Sean, will happily do so if you send him your arms for a core. These arms can also be bought new on Bimmerworld I believe. Quote 9.3.8.2 BMW 1996-99 M3 front control arms and front control arm bushings shall be used. Specified part numbers are as follows: Control Arm Right: 31-12-2-228-462 Control Arm Left: 31-12-2-228-461 Control Arm Bushings (sold as set): 31-12-9-069-035 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use the 96+ M3 front control arms. They can be slightly difficult to source but I have a couple spare sets and can press new E30 ball joints into the '96-'99 M3 control arms. All the part numbers are: M3 Control Arms 31122228462 31122228461 Lemforder E30 Ball Joints 31121126254 31121126253 Let me know if you'd like a set and we'll figure it out. Something else to consider is that your 1992 325i came with a non-vanos engine. We all run the 93-95 single vanos 2.5 motor. Not necessary for DE but eventually you'll need to swap the motor to be competitive. Good news is that lots of people like those non-vanos motors because they handle turbos very well. So you should be able to sell it easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
