BMW E90 Control Arm Replacement & Upgrade DIY (BMW M3 Control Arm Upgrade - RWD E90, E91, E92 & E93)

►If your rear-wheel-drive BMW E90, E91, E92, or E93 is due to have its control arms replaced, instead of replacing them with the flimsy factory steel arms, you can easily upgrade to the more robust BMW E90/E92/E93 M3 control arms.

Replacing the control arms on your E90 is a must as the bushings and ball joints wear out over time. Coupled with the fact that the arms bend so easily when encountering large potholes or a curb in the instance of this E90 in the video above, it makes sense to upgrade to the M3 control arms instead.

This DIY applies to any of the rear-wheel-drive E9x-series as well as the E82 and E88 1-series BMW.

Gareth Foley, FCP Euro's BMW Catalog Manager, walks us through how to replace and upgrade your BMW's control arms with only a small selection of basic hand tools.
