Cleaning out my garage and found these in one of my cabinets which are left over from switching to the M3 pieces.

Right and Left front tension struts and wishbones are in good condition and came off of my 2011 135i with 32,000 miles on them. The only piece not in good condition are the teeth at the end of one of the spindle joints on the wishbone (sorry don't know the exact name) which started to strip when being removed (pictured). You can see the teeth sort of started to twist, but I am pretty sure it can still be installed.

These parts are great if going back to stock or if you are thinking about replacing the tension strut bushing with something more firm.

Looking for $30 per arm (except the wishbone with the tweaked threads pictured below, that one I will throw in for free) and willing to ship if buyer pays.

Bump, how do you like having the M arms on your 1 series? Did you install those before any springs/struts/subframe bushings?

I installed springs, struts/shocks, and Dinan camber plates at the same time as my M3 arms front and rear. I really like the difference in road feel through the steering wheel and the sharper turn in. With the arms and Dinan camber plates my camber is about 2.6 degrees. I was worried the camber may be unfavorable for tire wear, but the front tires are have even wear so no downside.
