so I'm looking to replace my bushes on my 2003 3.0.
I have seen people on here talk about replacing the whole setup. Now I'm confused. On the lower control arm there is the separate bush that is at the back...
something like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-MEYLE-HD-E46-2-FRONT-WISHBONE-SUSPENSION-ARM-REAR-BUSH-BUSHES-HEAVY-DUTY-/161184557816?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AZ4&hash=item2587592af8
which would be meyle? now on the http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-3SER-E46-MSPORT-LOWER-WISHBONE-ARM-BUSH-UPRATED-POLY-BUSH-MEYLE-HD-LIN-/331113851862?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AZ4&hash=item4d17ec6bd6 here is there any other none standard bushes? because I am struggling as to why I wouldn't just by that kit for the bushes, buy some normal control arms and buy the meyle drop links for maybe £150 all in? it seems odd to me? I can only see that the drop links and the lollipops are meyle everything else is standard?
thoughts?
