G G600 Member Mar 3, 2019 #4 Found it, its the nut for the rear wishbone at the body end (near the diff), I wouldn't be driving anywhere! Item 9 http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=BT52-EUR-04-2003-E85-BMW-Z4_30i&diagId=33_1139

L Liam22 Active member Herts/Cambs Mar 3, 2019 #5 Thanks G600! Don't worry, the suspension is completely disassembled. Glad I didn't discard it!
G G600 Member Mar 3, 2019 #6 No worries, did you have to remove the diff to get to that bolt? I want to change the arms but I've been putting it off because of the access.

L Liam22 Active member Herts/Cambs Mar 3, 2019 #7 Yeah, it's tricky. I disconnected the driveshaft from the diff flange (6 Torx bolts) and let the driveshaft rest on the ARB. That gave enough space to get at the upper arm inboard bolt.
