I have a 2009 330d with 90k on the clock.

I've developed a knock recently which has been diagnosed as the lower control arm on one side and the the tie rod on the other.

I'm going to have the lower control arms and full tie rod assemblies changed on both sides.

The control arms will be upgraded to the M3 spec items.

Is it worth changing the wishbones to M3 spec items at the same time as I can source both sides for £100?

I take it as e92(coupe)? I am waiting for them in post. I did a lot of research to see effects.
Positive: feels a lot more planted to the road and better at cornering. Better steering response. More negative camber
Negative:
It does result in stiffer ride. Hence SE suspension is softer.

I will let you know my feeling once I get them installed.
