Just had a service - in need of some parts

[LukeMace]

Where is the best place to source these bits?
Front lower suspension arms complete - best replacement for these or will an upgrade from M3 fit?

Need a rear wheel bearing.
Is a wheel bearing a wheel bearing or is there anything that would be best?

The bottom of the radiator is bowed. Is this normal or does it need replacing?

Not sure about the rest, but if you need a rear wheel bearing, u should do both at the same time, and consider both fronts too.

for the lower arms alot of people rate these Lukehttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-E46-328-330-330D-CI-M-SPORT-TECH-FRONT-LOWER-CONTROL-ARM-WISHBONE-MEYLE-HD-/160655669505?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3ABMW&hash=item2567d2f901
When your doing that if i where you change the ARB bushes unless they have been done recently mine where quite oval. And if you doing that new drop links cheap as chips from euro car parts.

No idea on the other stuff mate sorry. But i would do both rear as Vanne has said easy enough for you to do yourself if you have a press? I suspect you do somewhere in Mace incorporated.....

I 'd change both and sometimes it's more cost effective.

Thanks gents

Will look in to those Mat, Cheers mate.
Sadly no press here which is a pain! So will have to go in and get the bearings done. As suggested i will get both the rears done at the same time too
