About 4 years I did the front M3 controls arms and alignment which gave me some more neg camber and that's all I did suspension wise. The difference in handling was clearly better then stock with much less push. On/off ramps turned from somewhat hesitant to go in too hot to confident enjoyment. I'm satisfied with the improvement and that's all I plan on doing, it's my DD and handles well enough to keep me smiling when the roads get twisty.

Just to add to this thread.
I am a BMW front end tech, I have also been building and racing cars for almost 30 years. Putting the M3 arms in the front of my car was one of the first, and best things I have done to my car. |

I am tempted to refit mine but I wonder if mine are for some reason faulty and unusually harsh? The M cars have an aluminium subframe reinforcement which probably explains why the harshness is not as noticeable but it feels like the front suspension is bottoming out or hit the biggest pothole in the world. |

I like mine. I still have to take my car for alignment , but i did best to do an alignment in my driveway for now. The stirring does feel heavier at low speeds....possibly caster issues that alignment will fix.....But man this puppy can handle in the canyons , i didn't push it too much although.

Hey, do the longer M3/1M Front Control Arms modify the scrub radius? If yes, do you think we need some spacers to correct it & so what would be the optimal thickness?

Not an expert, but, it would make complete sense since the M cars have a wider track than our cars. A spacer won't completely correct it, but it will probably help a little.
