    Help... 5 lug swap

    I have a 90 e30 vert and i have most of the parts to do the 5 lug swap with parts from a 99 bmw z m roadster. I'm missing control arms and lolly pops.

    Whichi control arms I should use? 99 BMW Z M ROADSTER or can I use E30 M3???

    Currently working in front suspension.


    Sorry for my ignorance but some one can help me with this....

    So you have the trailing arms and axles from a z3m?

    you'll need control arms from a 96-99 e36m, that can be a coupe/sedan/z3m. you could probably just use centered CAB bushings as long as the spindles are off the 99 z3m.

      Correct. Z3M front control arms are the same as 96+ E36 M3. Use those.

      You WILL need offset E30 M3 control arm bushings though.
