Bonus was that they scheduled (and paid for) a courier to pick it back up off me.

Apart from the subframe tool did you just need a trolley jack and two stands?

A couple of trolley jacks would be very handy. Jack stands are less important as it is difficult to find somewhere to place them. I found a combo of wooden blocks useful.
After a week of driving I would say this is a very advantageous swap and I wonder why the cars are fitted with the bushes they have. |

Just be mindful, not sure if it's the same on a 135i subframe: The rear two subframe bushes are easy peasy to swap over, but the front two bushes installed the opposite way (from the top on a 130i). Meaning you would have to potentially disconnect brake lines or more to complete the removal and installation.

For some reason the flanges on the bushes were at the top, no idea what happened there..

I know this is not the right place to ask this question but has anyone here done a M3 front control arms swap and can tell me how much under body and wheel arch fairing has to be removed to get at the inner ends of the arms?
Will give me an indication of how long I will have to set aside for the job. |

Steering rack must be lowered, just remove the 2 bolts and let it hang, lowering it gives you clearance to fully remove the control arm bolt. Shoot me a text, will be a couple weeks until I have time

Updated the tool yet again. Bought another fuel pump tool and basically doubled up on all the pieces, welded it all together so its twice as thick.
Welded some tips on the end too, so the bushing doesn't rub up against the legs as its being pulled out. Now the tool does not bend at all and is very strong
