Let me tell you, even though that this was a simple modification, it did noticeably improve the handling, with the car feeling more planted and squat in turns, with much less under steer. I honestly didn't expect that much difference, beyond the fact that this will hopefully reduce the severe tire outer wear.
Which leads me to wonder, why didn't BMW used these Lower Control Arms, along with slightly deeper offset wheels on the M235i to begin with? I understand it might be to reduce the risk of over steer, but a car like this is really begging for it.
Definitely worth it!

The car is not tuned to be as aggressive as it can be -- blame BMW for not wanting to crowd the "real" M cars. It's pretty amazing how much better the car handles with a proper alignment/some extra camber up front.
