    e91 Control Arms

    Hi,
    I'm looking at replacing some front suspension bits, car is coming up on 200k km on original parts. Looking on Mister Auto here and they have TRW front lower control arms for €36.94 each, half the price of the Lemforder and Febi. Does anyone know if I'm OK going for TRW, car is an M-sport and I do a lot of driving on pot holed filled country roads so don't want to have to redo it all again in 6 months

    Trw and lemforder are both oe equipment on bmws and the most well known recommended brands out of all the brands febi are more middle range I'd run either of the three no problem but if trw is coming in at half the price then it's a no brianer

    Cheers Gar, TRW is coming in way under the others so as you say its a no brainer! A new set of tyres now and she'll be all set for another while

    I'd go for Lemforder over TRW unless you absolutely have to.

    Ah Dave you're making me doubt my decision now!....Lemforder works out €160 more overall, so I suppose if TRW is OE then I'd find it hard to spend the extra.
