What vehicles do the SPL F3X xDrive control arms fit?

The SPL F3X xDrive control arms (FLCA F3IX) fit the xDrive-equipped F22 and F23 2 Series (2015-2019), F30 and F31 3 Series (2013-2019), and F32, F33, and F36 4 Series (2014-2020). They are specific to AWD cars, so confirm your chassis and drivetrain before ordering.

Do these fit rear-wheel-drive cars?

No. The SPL F3X xDrive control arms are the all-wheel-drive version. Rear-wheel-drive F2X and F3X models use the separate SPL FLCA F3X kit, so verify your car is xDrive before ordering this one.

What do these control arms adjust?

The SPL F3X xDrive control arms provide adjustable camber, roll center, and track width. That lets you add negative camber for cornering grip and even tire wear, and correct the roll center drop that comes with lowering the car for better handling and stability.

Do they keep the ride height sensor working?

Yes. Each of the SPL F3X xDrive control arms includes a ride height sensor bracket that maintains the factory sensor location regardless of arm length, so the BMW chassis electronics continue to read correctly after installation.

What are the arms made of?

The SPL F3X xDrive control arms use lightweight 6061-T6 billet aluminum, an electroless-nickel-plated 4130 chromoly Double Adjuster, blue-anodized titanium hardware, and 3-piece Teflon-lined FK spherical bearings. Stainless steel roll center spacers are included, and the arms are made in the USA.

Will these add noise or vibration?

Somewhat. The front lower control arms are a moderate contributor to NVH, so replacing the large OEM rubber bushing brings a small to moderate increase in road noise and harshness. Most owners accept the trade-off for the sharper response the SPL F3X xDrive control arms provide.

SPL Parts Adjustable Front Lower Control Arms for F2X 2 Series and F3X 3 / 4 Series xDrive

The SPL F3X xDrive control arms provide roll center, camber, and track width adjustment for the xDrive-equipped F2X 2 Series and F3X 3 and 4 Series BMW while eliminating bushing deflection for sharpened steering response and driving precision. Running more negative camber greatly improves peak lateral grip by keeping an optimal tire contact patch as the body rolls under cornering load, and it prevents the excessive outer-shoulder wear and heat that comes from a lack of camber. Lowering the car pushes the front roll center down and away from the center of gravity, adding body roll and bumpsteer; these arms let you correct roll center across a wide range of ride heights, and each arm includes a ride height sensor bracket to keep the factory sensor located and the chassis electronics happy.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
