I love my rear arms - I think they dont get enough credit on here with everyone doing front arm updates.

Have tou loked at the F3x, F2x TOE CONTROL ARM? Is it the same length as the 135i/e8x e9x toe arm 33326792533?
Interesting. The slender design of this and the 135i part points to the relatively low operating loads on the toe control arm. I assume the non-visible top of the part is either open or welded only at the ends to destabilize the section and control its failure mode.

Possibly the bushings in this part are stiffer than in the 135i part because they do appear to have wider rubber elements.
