Front drift angle lock kit, M3 · complete, both sides
01Overview
The Wisefab front end built specifically for the E46 M3 — new lower arms, new steering geometry and adjustable top mounts in place of the factory front suspension.
The M3 does not share the standard E46 front geometry, which is why it gets its own part number rather than the generic kit.
Higher roll centre. Drop the car and the front roll centre drops with it. The kit lifts it back up, which gives you roll stiffness without a front anti roll bar — and with the bar gone, the arms swing to full lock.
Revised Ackermann. A standard car gives the inner wheel more angle than the outer. Sideways that costs speed and grip, so Wisefab turned it around.
Camber under control at big angles. At full lock the leading wheel wants to run positive camber, which throws grip away and walks the contact patch from one edge of the tyre to the other. The geometry cuts that down as far as it can go.
Steering jacking control. More angle means more jacking. Wisefab measured it and shaped the geometry so it never turns into a handling problem.
Predictable self-centring. No lock-up at the end of travel, no shoving the wheel to flip it the other way.

05Before You Order
Want trackside Ackermann?
WF460 V2 covers the M3 as well and lets you retune Ackermann between runs without redoing the alignment. This kit is the fixed-geometry version.
You need coilovers
Built around a lowered car on coilovers, and it assumes the damper body has clearance for the new arms.
You need the arches
Wider fenders or flares are part of the job. How much depends on wheel width and offset — plan for them before you order.
Wheel and tyre
Tyre diameter no larger than 620 mm; 235/40 R17 is the reference size.
Rear end
Note the WF361 rear knuckle kit fits every E36 and E46 rear brake setup except the E46 M3 on a single caliper — check that before you plan the rear.
Lead time
Made to order at Wisefab. Reckon on roughly two weeks — message us before ordering and we will confirm the current build slot.
