The long awaited BMW E46 DIY kit is finally here! Have you ever wanted to drive a Wisefab with your E46 BMW but it is too expensive or too wide to fit your car? Now you have the opportunity to modify the OEM E36 control arms and build the kit that fits to your E46 (Yes, you read that right, the E36 control arm for the E46). It requires quite a bit of measuring, cutting and welding, but the result is a cost-effective and capable lock-kit that is suitable for both street and competition use.
Here is a VIDEO that explains the whole procedure in-depth.
The Knuckle add-on is the same classic Wisefab part we've used on our pro kits for many years.
The wishbone extension, lock-stopper, bearing housing and the bearing itself are also made of the same material we use in the pro kit.
Camber plates are notincluded and are optional and can be purchased separately.
Tie rods (inner and outer) are not included. However, the necessary parts can be conveniently purchased from any spare parts store. For inner tie rods use Ford/Mazda part number EC0132240 or YL8Z3280EA. For tie rod ends use Ford/Mazda part number EC0132280 or 5L843289AA. NB! When buying tie rods make sure the inner end (rack side) is M14x1,5 male and outer end M16x1.5 male thread.
NB! Be sure to read the installation manual both before and after purchase. This gives a good overview of the tools and workload required.

"’We started working together with Wisefab back in 2014 when we launched our Falken Tyres Nissan 240sx for European competition. Since then, we have enjoyed working closely with the engineers at Wisefab testing new products before going into production and have had a lot of success winning multiple championship worldwide. Thank you to everyone at Wisefab for believing in us and producing such top-quality products."
“When I first installed a Wisefab lock kit it truly opened the door for some more aggressive driving style. I quickly began to expect nothing less than the massive angle and performance that Wisefab provides and installed a lock kit on all (4) of my Nissan 240sx that I currently drift. Also, after testing what I though was a very competitive rear suspension solution against the latest Wisefab rear kit, I was blown away with the apparent grip gain the rear Wisefab kit yielded. I am so thankful that Wisefab has poured so much effort into creating a bolt on suspension solution that transforms a Nissan 240sx into what I believe is still the most competitive drift chassis in the world."
"I love the Wisefab suspension kits used on my competition and demo vehicles, they provide all the angle and grip we love along with the strength and durability we need to compete with the best!"
"I wouldn't have half the results! Only by running Wisefab in my Toyota 86 it just makes the car handle so good and let's me adjust set up pretty easy which is a massive help going from track to track!"
