Sorry, thread title should have read....from BMA, not BMW.

Anybody have any experience with the HD version of the Meyle upper Control arm? Price is nice, (around $75) but I know the saying better than anyone. What kind of bushings does it have? Perhaps the 750?

I have a price for the M5 bushing installed into the Lemfoerder upper control arm for $145/pc from BMA.

Getting ready to order something....

That look like Green label on the bushing... would be 750iL bushing. If I were you, I'd shoot for the M5 bushing instead... would end all the saga about upper control arm. Lemforder arms are the best period... which you should be able to buy cheap at Pelican Auto parts.

Just installed them a few days ago, so far so good. There is a slight difference in comfort, but if you're not using 18", you probably won't notice.

currently I have the 15" 540 wheels with M5 bushings. Under braking and turning it feels firmer in a good way, to me anyways.

I have the Meyle HD in since 2 years, working well, nothing to complain.

The Mehle arms are not bad at all, just do yourself a favor and have the M5 bushings pressed. Might be a decent cost savings in using the Mehle arms.
