Looks like the 1M uses the "active steering" lower joint assembly: 32306769166. Only E82's with AFS use that joint. A regular 135i uses 32306769157. M3 has its own unique assembly and part number...

I used the 135i steering arms and ball joints. There looked to be little difference between each other and they were the correct length. There is a length issue with using the M3 or 1M items.
