Or is there a pic on the web somewhere?

I'm feeling brave....

I need help identifying all the parts I need to order for my 91 BMW 535i.

Looks like everything on the front end, minus the upper control arms should be replaced.

Thanks

Ok...you are feeling brave...but are you feeling lucky? ;-) Yes Bentley shows how all the parts fit together. An ETK would be even more helpful to address all the parts etc.
Call Patrick or Yves at BMA and order the parts...they have all the part numbers for your car etc. Get replacement lock nuts...be sure to replace the idler arm and bushing when you swap out the center tie-rod etc. You are wise to simply do the whole front the suspension at once. If you have 30k miles on the upper arm bushings even if you aren't going to change the arms, I would replace the bushings when you have it apart.
HTH,
