Damaged control arm - upgrade options

So I have a damaged front control arm that is in need of replacement asap.

My options come down to whether I use an OEM part or upgrade to a M1 front control arm kit.

I've spent the morning on ECS tuning and have come across this kit - https://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E82-13...Arm/ES2794964/

I'm interested to hear if anyone has used this before?

Thanks!

lots of people on here have the M3/1M control arm upgrades.

It give a little more -ve camber on the front and better feel.

I've got the m3 front control arms on my car, gives a little camber so gives a little more front end grip.

Buy this, its cheaper, FCP have more competitive shipping rates

You don't need the rear arms, only the rear guide rod is a good upgrade, the other rear arms you'll notice no difference
