Front M3 arb on a 1er

sam1er · 07-29-2010, 02:32 PM

Im sure someone has done this mod. Im from the UK and have had the rear subframe bushes installed. I have bought the front M3 tension rods and wishbones ready to go on when the tires run out of tread so i can get it all tracked up at once, but as i was doing this i thought why not get the front M3 ARB done at the same time. My question is:

Does anyone have the part numbers for the ARB and are there additional bits required along with the arb to allow it to fit the 1 series.
It will probably be a couple of weeks before this is done so i have enough time to order the bits required and get the car booked in to get everything fitted.

Thanks in advance.

what's an ARB?

Yes, additional parts are required.

The part numbers are probably somewhere in this long thread. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=177028

If you were in America, I'd say just order this kit. http://www.hpashop.com/product.sc?pr...categoryId=119

Thanks very much for the link, got the part numbers i needed. Glad i asked otherwise i would have been in a bad position come install time

For those 1 series owners who have fitted the anti roll bar, did you use the swing support link rods also?

Im not sure if i will need this or not. Thanks.

No, you do not need the swing support links from the M3, they are too long and were made to fit the M3 strut specifically.
