Just purchased them online from a BMW OEM parts supplier. Also forgot to mention that the hardware is torque to yield on these UCAs so be sure to replace bolts and nuts with new when you swap them out. It’s $30 or so for both sides.

Thanks! I'll assume the bolts and nuts you speak of are #5, 6, 7 in this pic?

Correct. There is also another bolt and nut for the ball joint not shown in pic you’ll want to replace.

And your point is?
I did say MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price), didn’t I?

You put in the time, effort and thought (all value $$$$) to create a solution and bring it to the forum.

Undermining that effort is ………..

Its not undermining as he didn't manufacturer the part/modify the part. He just said the part could be used. I personally can keep $200 in my pocket for other things. The smart comment proves my point.

Lemming are born everyday. Good day!

Give this clown your $200 if you wish. Sucker!

Sensitive.

Not sure if this provides the appropriate part numbers for the bolts/nuts but it's what I was able to find when I looked up the UCA assembly on realoem. I understand these are for the G05 platform so not sure if they would be a 1 to 1 replacement since I couldn't find a similar parts diagram for the F95.

Counts below assume you're replacing for both sides:

31106866023 : #9 (clip nut) x 2
31106881432 : #10 (multi-purp bolt) x 4
33306760585 : #11 (combination nut) x 4
07119905862 : #12 (hex bolt) x 2

How did you find out this part would correct your problem ?

I’mAllIn · 03-15-2023, 02:48 PM

Anybody has real pictures of both parts side-by-side?

Thanks in advance.

Can certainly see the much beefier M arm is on the right. Bushings and joint are also different. Plus the M arm is forged.

onfireX5 · 03-17-2023, 07:56 PM

Is there anything posted by BMW that claims the M arm is forged ? It's definitely beefier in the triangular section, but it looks like casting marks on the M ?????

"The double-wishbone front axle employs twin-wall torque arm and control arm bearings together with a forged upper control arm."

Casting lines and casting letters are present. Finish also.

Brandt51 · 03-19-2023, 12:26 PM

Seems like a decent idea for sure. Any downsides?

I’mAllIn · 03-19-2023, 06:56 PM

Thanks for the photo, much appreciated.

How much time should it take a shop to swap out the upper control arms?
