Part numbers listed LEFT/RIGHT if applicable
For the arm you have 2 choices, replace the arm (#5) or replace the bushing in the arm (#6) which requires a press. #5 is simpler but more expensive.

#5 31106787673/31106787674

For this job you should replace
bolt (#7) 2x 33306785433

You must replace
self locking nut (#8) 2x 33306760349
nut (#10) 2x 33306760349

Google those part numbers and find a place that sell the Lemforder brand. FCP Euro probably does. Lemforder makes them for BMW so you will get the exact same part minus the BMW logo for typically half the price.

That is probably number 5. Your concern should be the socket on the subframe.. looks like it needs some serious TLC

You might consider doing the wishbone as well…as long as you’re under there…..as others have mentioned, Lemforder is OE, but they are all out of stock right now…everywhere I checked. So i just ordered the Delphi brand and the 2 control arms and 2 wishbone are coming in at under 300

rather than making these "WHAT IS THIS PART" posts, have you ever considered using Real OEM and looking them up?

its a great resource. its something every car owner should know / use often
