Mark it's true, but they only do it by a small amount using the OEM M3 offset mounts. With the control arm as a right angle pivot, if you move the CAB mounting point OUTWARD, it will move the other end (ball joint at the strut) FORWARD. The 96+ E36 arms will add more to it due to the design of the arm itself. Of course you want to make sure the control arms aren't bent in anyway as well. Buying new arms instead of just replacing ball joints eliminates this possibility.Last edited by reelizmpro; 09-08-2013, 01:23 PM."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

What?
Moving the wheel forward in the arch is exactly what M3 bushings do. The purpose is to increase castor which means the strut is more laid back.
If you do it at an adjustable upper strut mount you move it rearward, If you do it at the bottom of the strut you need to move it forward.

Eric, my e30's wheel position today looks identical to yours. When I did the e30 M3 5-lug swap I installed new control arms and new Ground Control M3 offset CABs. I was replacing my stock 325iS 4 lug with e30 M3 OEM CABs. I noticed a movement of the wheel back (just like in your picture above^) , which I thought was odd.-Ryan
