I would recommend powerflex eccentric wishbone bushes. They make a world of difference to the steering.

Yep you should!

ARB bushes if they look like they need it too... Mine's another vote for the powerflex eccentric TCA bushes too :thumb:

BMW is the ultimate driving machine, still retaining comfort.
Powerflex bushes are too harsh and transmit too much noise.
Go for the OE M3 bushes instead.
