M3 control arms/ball joints on an E46

hamant · 11-22-2011, 06:06 PM

hello

sorry to post this, but I've looked around and can't seem to find the answer.

Will factory lower control arms (ball joints) bolt straight onto an E46 - 2000 323i?

PS- i have the ball joints on E46's!!!

front or rear? You mention ball joints, so I assume front. They are M3 specific ... will they fit? Probably, but not sure how it will affect your alignment and geometry.

^^^ yah i think he is right... if they were xi control arms then i don't think they would work... try google or E46Fanatics, someone must have asked or tried.

thanks for the replies, I know XI's won't work at all as they are different control arms all together, but The M3's look like the E46.
