My 330 is going in Monday next week. why not speak to Gizmo, he got control arms for the E46 for quite cheap, maybe he can get for the E39 aswell.

Dude, hope you have Cashpower and Visa, American Express and Mastercard on your speed dial! Arrange terms now, 'cause taking a ///M to a dealer....ANY ///M, will cost you!:mmm:

Hope they are lenient on you, unless you have a mate there! :thumbsup:

Dont have control arms done at the dealership. For the e46 non m, it costs R7k for parts alone at the dealer.

Don't you have any other options? I usually go to Beemo's in Pretoria or Auto Fewer in JHB for my aftermarket or seconhand stuff.
