Control Arm Replacement

Replacing the front control arms to tighten up the steering and get rid of worn bushings.

Picked up catless headers and a Y-pipe for $50, prepped the E46 for a single-exit exhaust setup.

Tightening up the drivetrain feel with a fresh bushings.

Planned to make it louder, ended up making it run again. Classic BMW — alternator out, fresh one in, back to changing headers soon.
