Should I upgrade my 2014 bmw 428ix n26 control arms for the m3 or m4 one? Wondering which would fit? And what benefits can I reap from doing this??? Anyone upgraded they control arms?

F8x control arms won't work for you as you're xdrive.

Go with tension strut/thrust arm monoballs (like KMAC) if you want quicker steering response and more steering feel.

As said above xDrive = not compatible. To go a little further on OP's post, the M4 and M3 arms are identical.
