Who's parts are you using.

[BillyB]

I thought I had nothing else to do but order the bits I wanted from BMW for my winter project ie front wishbones, drop links, roll bar bushes, rear wishbone bushes ect you get the picture. I want to keep the car as original as possible so OEM parts ordered. Huh no left side wishbones left, I had ordered the ones complete with bushes fitted for ease as I'm doing it myself . I have been reliably informed ( by BMW ) that they will not be made untill there is a big enough order. So I am calling on your expert knowledge, whose after market parts would you suggest I contact for a wishbone kit. Lemforder, Meyle, or ?.

I bought a pair of wishbones, lollipops and anti roll bar bushes from an Ebay seller. They are Meyle parts and have been on the car for a couple of years now

I use a lot of Meyle parts, including front control arms. Not had any problems with them.

I recently got some Febi bushes and was rather pleased with the quality

Euro Car Parts sell Lemforder suspension arms for about £123 and if you look out for their weekend discounts you can save quite a bit on that.
The Ball joints are about £18 and £24 and the tool to fit them is about £50 on E bay.

I recently bought lower control arms, arb drop links and lollipops from an eBay seller made by MeyleHD. They are fitted and seem to be just right. Control arms and lollipops were £110 delivered. Drop links £20

Agreed on that one. It's where I bought my Brembo discs, pads, brake sensors and rear shoes. Came in 48 hours too.

All good brands

 

[Redsheep]

Billy,
Did this last year.
I got all from eBay, but made sure it was Meyle parts for wishbones etc and Sachs for shocks.
The shocks came from Germany, but no problems.
