I'm looking for a pair of Z4M spindles (only need the spindles themselves... Don't need the struts or control arms).

What's a spindle?

Also referred to as a knuckle/upright/etc. It's what the wheel bearing, breaks, strut, etc. all mount to.

It's on hold for the moment. We are in the process of moving and I have to get the new garage setup (wired/air run/etc.). I've also been preoccupied with maintenance/repairs/upgrade on my e46 coupe (my new daily driver), but that's just about finished. I'm itching to get back to work on the roadster (which is why I'm back looking for spindles).

Semi-project related up note, the e46 coupe is utilizing the tubular front control arms I built and they are performing beautifully (daily driving over potholes, railroad tracks, etc.). I'm now in the process of planning version 2.0 which will do away with the inner ball joints (replace with a rod end).

I only REALLY need the spindles (kingpins/uprights/etc... lots of names for them), so #2 in the following picture:

But depending on the cost, I'd take the wheel hubs as well (#s 1, 2, 3, & 4 in the following picture):

If you have the parts, I'd be glad to buy them from you. I'm just concerned what the shipping cost is going to be.
 
Arrrrrr the hub carrier. I paid £195 for a set for my car second hand. They are the same as Z3M hub carriers. I haven't got them but I sourced mine from www.partsgateway.co.uk. If you need a registration of an M to search for parts on there then you can use mine if you like. Pm me if you want it
 
Just remembered, Place called BM bitz should have a set. Just looked through my quotes that I didn't purchase. £103 each dude

Are you sure they are the same? I looked up the Z4M and Z3M hub carriers (as you guys call them) and go different part numbers. Does the Z3M hub carrier have the bolt on steering arm?

That's not bad (about $150 each). Any idea what it will cost to ship something like this over the Atlantic?

There can be multiple part numbers for the same part mate.

That's certainly true. I just like to confirm before I end up with the wrong thing.
 
I'll throw an enquiry on parts gateway UK if you want me to dude. I can give you cost to ship to me, then I'll get a quote on shipping to you. Also I'm on German eBay all the time (buying ///M parts for mine) so if I see some I'll post them up on here
