According to the reviews it misses some of the nuts required?

So the rear guide link is included but missing from the image? Ok.

US $393.54 for the whole front end rebuilt apart from tie rod ends (US $41.55 x 2). Drives so much better.

All up US $476.64 plus shipping and I did all the work myself. You will need a ball joint separator tool but nothing else apart from the normal hand tools and a torque wrench.

If I lived in the US, the Meyle HD kit will replace your whole front and rear for US $1,000.84

That kit is incomplete. The Meyle kit is better.
What parts are missing? There are only 20 parts to change.

My F30 is up on Cars & Bids right now! Auction ends Friday, y'all cross a finger or three for me.

They can be a little picky, unsure an E53 would interest them unless it was immaculate, manual, and low mileage, or a nice 4.6/8is with perfect maintenance. You can do a search on either site to see what sold.
