I bought a lovely black ///M license plate frame from ECS Tuning, but that's as far as I will go. It is sweet though. AND, I have an ///M baseball cap from BMW lifestyles, and I like that too...but, oh never mind.

I bought a lovely black ///M license plate frame.

Me too. Sometimes I consider getting rid of it for plain black.

Leveling sensor slot is not on the first control arm which I received for "E46s" and yes M3 control arms do fit on ZHP's in the front. Tomorrow my car will be back on the lift bc my leveling sensor came loose on the drive home from Albany. My current control arms on the car are M3 control arms, not ZHP, not E46.

Okay man look, I've personally had normal E46 arms and ZHP arms in my possession at the same time, and I currently have M3 arms as my car is a proper M3. I'm familiar with all 3 arms and their differences

E46 and ZHP arms look identical, except the ZHP arms have metal outer ball joints and an ///M sticker on them. Both have the hole for the auto leveling sensor. M3 arms have a pretty different design, have no M sticker, and have no hole for the auto leveling sensor. My understanding is that the M3 arms end up sticking out farther than non-M arms, though I haven't taken measurements to confirm

My guess: You had M3 arms initially, the shop realized they didn't fit, and they were swapped out for ZHP arms.


For reference:

Non-ZHP arm




ZHP/Z4M arm




M3 arm




I can't find pics of the old-style control arms, but they look like E36 control arms and Xi control arms
