- rubbing: these control arms move the wheel further front and started rubbing at the front of the wheel pit.
These arms are not made for f30 chassis, bear in mind that f30 and f80 subframes are completely different, unlike previous generations of 3 series.
The best way to get more camber is to swap the wheel hubs with the -0.5deg versions intended for f30s (and come as default to m135i/m235i), which respects the intended geometry of the car, other options are to be avoided in my opinion.

Is it because only you swap out the hydro bearing of f30 into f80?
Most, in fact all used the spacer but you went 1 step with the bushing change? |
Which spacer are you referring to?
