Are people still looking for these bearings? I've got a line on some of the Sidem bearings which are Meyle in quality, for the cheapest price I've seen anywhere so far. (I'm not selling them, can just pass on the source). PM me.

There's some healthy profit margin in that kit. I got 8 of these (sidem) shipped for half the price of that kit ^^ that has only half the bearings needed for the full swap. Another 30 for the conical washers thanks to @bbanks. Huge thanks to the users who hacked this mod. |

Many thanks to @Redd for making this thread! I just finished the first stage of my uniball swap and the info here was priceless. I used the Bav Autosport tool set which was worth its weight in gold I was able to easily swap all the bushings with the arms on the car. I have 8 swapped bushings so far for the Meyle Spherical’s. I just have the Bimmerworld Camber Bearing left, and then I’m replacing my toe arm with a SPL adjustable one (328i not M3 so need to swap that too).
Hope to get those done by the weekend. Can’t wait to see how the car feels after this is all done!

Did this conversion during latter half of 2019, although without trailing arm and lower camber arm bearings. Along with powerflex black (monroe actually) upper shock mounts, solid subframe.. car is transformed, and that's coming from something with N54 spastic tq delivery, wheelbase etc. Still can be driftastic at the demand of my right foot but with far more precision, confidence and response.
OEM M arms tend to be lighter as well than aftermarket offerings. Quote:
If you guys are in a bind, maybe I can ship my Meyle set but I bet it'll be shipping prohibitive. But, this is one reason I don't like your local vendors. Salesmen at best with weak engineering. It's a shame Schirmer took note with their garbage launch.

Any chance you can measure the OD of cup #3 that presses the bushing? I have a different set I bought when I did the subframe bushings with various sizes and might be able to use one of those.

Ok. Did anyone take measurements from the Meyle bearing.
I ordered a Delphi version from rockauto. I think it's the right size since it's a replacement Bearing for the control arm in question. If anyone has the info please share. Here are the measurements for the Delphi bearing.

I have not done the rear trailing arm bushes nor the inner lower camber bush..
Night and day difference, far more response and less "snapback" on corrections enabling you to be more precise with inputs. I don't have any tyre data to show deflection changing/dynamic alignment etc.

Whiteline subframe inserts, Whiteline lower camber/spring arm stiffer bushings Manzo toe arms with stiffer bushings Spherical bearings for trailing arms LSD with lock down kit M3 guide rods installed but haven't done spherical bushing on spindle side yet. Car makes 420whp/470wtq current issue under aceleration steering wheel starts feeling lighter and more loose, as soon as I let go throttle car feels more planted and steering wheel back to stiff again. Any suggestions from anyone? Alingment done recently Bolts are not loose on the arms Last edited by N54andS63TU; 03-05-2021 at 01:23 AM.. |

I've been told I was wrong and it is possible without removing the subframe

It's definitely not possible. Runs right into the body of the car. Tried for like an hour before I said f it and dropped it.
