Original BMW Control Arm Bolt M12x1.5x67 for BMW 1, 2, 3, 4 Series, M3, and X1 (2006–2021)

On BMW 1, 2, 3, and 4 Series cars, the M3, and the X1 from 2006 to 2021, Original BMW hexagon screw with flange 07-11-9-906-489 is the M12x1.5x67 control arm bolt rated to strength class 10.9. BMW gives it a chrome-free CR(VI) finish, made without hexavalent chromium. It weighs 82 g (0.2 lb) and is made in Germany. BMW has produced this number since September 2008. A control arm bolt pins the arm, through its bushing, to the chassis or subframe, so the bolt has to hold the arm in place under every load the suspension sees.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

Worn or incorrect suspension hardware is often mistaken for a failed arm or bushing. Warning signs include poor handling after suspension work, an alignment that will not hold, uneven tire wear even after a proper alignment, excessive suspension noise, and loose links or arms. BMW lists this part as a hexagon screw with flange. BMW shows no supersession for this number. The same bolt spans four-cylinder N20, N26, B46, and B48 engines, six-cylinder N51, N52, N54, N55, and B58 engines, the S65 V8 in the E90-generation M3, and the M57 and N47 diesels in the 335d and 328d.
