Like New F30 M-Sport VAC Motorsports Monoball Upper Control Arms (Thrust Arms) - $375

These are upper control arms, also called thrust arms, for the F30 3 Series.

These are stock TRW cast aluminum arms with the modified spherical monoball by VAC motorsports. (See image).

Installed briefly, absolutely loved the elimination of vague steering feel and added precision but city roads where I am at combined with 19" wheels unfortunately made this a little too aggressive for my taste.

Used for about a week, then removed.

Feel free to make an offer! Can ship anywhere United States or Local Pickup Bay Area, California. Shipping $50!

Feel free to respond in thread/dm/email/any of the above in case I have not checked here.

Hi. I’m interested in these. Your post says they are the upper arms but the picture from VAC shows the set of both upper and lower. Are you selling just the uppers or both the upper and lower?

Hi All, here is the picture of the arms as mentioned.

Have only about a week of use, basically like new condition.
Can comment that the steering feel is incredibly precise with them, again just have bumpy roads around here. These again are the UCA, also known as Thrust Arms. which are responsible for a lot of the steering feel and is often folks biggest complaint on the F30.

Here is a link to a thread on some user experiences, etc. with them. If you are interested in improving the steering feel, I would start with these first and go from there. In the end I am just back to fully stock, but already miss a little bit of the precision you get with these. Small chance I might go somewhere in between and get an HD bushing, etc. at some point as the stock are comically soft.
