    Is the 1995 M3 FLCA unique to a 1995 M3?

    I guess I was wrong. There are only 2 variations of geometry. Thanks for setting me straight.

    I ordered the Lemforder M3 FLCA's along with lemforder tie rods and new bushings for my treehouse racing fcabs.
    Run-of-the-mill non-“M” Lemforder FLCAs for the 318/323/325/328 have a rubber isolated outer BJ, just as the factory FLCArms had.

    So there are your three variants, two of which have the same geometry - 1995M3 and standard E36, with 1996+M3 being ~10mm longer in fwd direction.

    Thanks for the information on the control arms.
    I do not know how you got this confirmation but is there a chance you can do the same for the E36M 96+ spindles.
    They are also listed as NLA. At least the right side I'm looking for.
    Thank you.

    1995M3 Spindles are different than the 1996+M3 Spindles, both are unique to the E36 line. The 1996+M3 generates more King Pin Inclination as steering approaches “full lock.”
    1995M3 Spindles are same geometry as non M however the support the E34 brake caliper.

    BimmerWorld used to have a pallet full of them.

    See this thread for further discussion and p/n’s -
