I see that Rockauto has Raybestos and ACdelco control arms that are aluminum. Anyone ever try them? I feel like they would be an upgrade over lemforder steel one.

aluminum control arms came on the 90 m3, pre 90 they were steel.
its a "upgrade" but does not make a diference in any other way besides weight and they are like over twice as much as steel

they are cheaper than oem, but i am only finding the left arm?!?!
If i can find the other side i would be willing to try them.

Those are E46 control arms you posted. If you are thinking about spending a good bit on control arms, it would be worth it to go big and get tubular front control arms like the ones VAC sells.-AlexComment
