I am going a different route with the FCABs. The Front Control Arm Bushing is already pressed with the Z4M bushings.

Price is $100 shipped.

What is the advantage of running the z4m bushings? I can't seem to remember at the moment and know others might benefit from the knowledge as well, especially if they are looking to replace soon.

I think it was an increase in caster... Kyle would know.

From ECSTuning. The solid rubber helps a lot more compared to the OEM part. -


These are control arm bushings from the Z4M which can be used on your vehicle for increased castor, which provides more confident handling and better steering feel
Symptoms of failed control arm bushings commonly include a loose and imprecise feel in the steering, excessive shaking and vibration through the steering that increases with speed and braking, and squeaking, whining or grinding from the front when turning at slow speeds.
These are control arm bushings from the Z4M which can be used on some other vehicles for increased castor, which provides more confident handling and better steering feel. See guide below for additional applications.

Also, being solid rubber, they should last 2-3x longer than the gel filled ones.
