m3 Subframe bushings

mistawall · 01-27-2016, 02:28 PM

Going to be installing the m3 rear end in my 1er. donor car had maybe 50K on it. so before i install sub frame i am considering replacing the bushings for good measure.

Car will be daily driver. so im not to interested in solid mounts.

should replacing everything with oem bushings suffice? or should i go stiffer on anything?

like whats the difference with this orange one?

I'd upgrade to OE M3 bushings. I only have experience upgrading my RSFB to the M3 parts and the difference was just incredible, worth every penny for the install cost. The rest of the parts I am not sure of because I've never done them. Regardless, can't go wrong with M3 parts IMO, but I wouldn't go stiffer considering it's a daily and you're trying to keep it somewhat quiet.

The orange bushing is a differential bushing and not a subframe bushing.

I know. I'm curious if that is stiffer cause I think I'm gonna do aluminum subframe bushings but I don't want aluminum diff bushings cause of noise
