WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2010 BMW X3, 2009 BMW X3, 2008 BMW X3, 2007 BMW X3, and 2006 BMW X3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Control arms with + or - marking (see illustration) are camber correction arms:
  • - Underdimension variant
  • + Overdimension variant
These camber correction arms are used to correct the camber values by 30 minutes. To be used only if the tolerance values are exceeded or undershot! An unmarked control arm is a standard part.
