Tasked with keeping the vehicles rear end firmly mounted while absorbing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) factory rubber subframe bushings were engineered to provide a balance of control while keeping the ride quality soft and supple. As a factory bushings age, they become brittle and begin to harden. When this happens the bushing will actually shrink and allow excess play, or movement in the subframe. This is typically felt by a sudden jerk or "thunking" noise under acceleration and is a leading cause of "sloppy" or "loose" suspension feel. By replacing the bushings with full polyurethane this play is eliminated since the subframe is being held in place by a much stiffer material that will not harden or shrink over time. Additionally, the inherent stiffness of the urethane material translates body forces much more directly. This means steering and acceleration inputs from the driver are effectively transferred to the wheels and vital road information is transmitted properly from the wheels to the driver. 

Powerflex street bushings are ideal for street driven vehicles and those that see occasional autocross or track time. Engineered to perform, Powerflex performance polyurethane bushings offer a supreme level of control, while still providing enough comfort for the street, with advanced polyurethane that reduces NVH that often accompanies lesser bushings. Expect improved steering feel, turn in, more responsive handling and overall improved chassis composure with Powerflex performance polyurethane control arm bushings.

Poweflex is a leading manufacturer of aftermarket suspension bushings. Using state of the art design and manufacturing, all replacement bushings are engineered to out-perform and out-last the ones that came in the car. Each line of bushings is meticulously tested and then re-tested to ensure perfect fitment and enduring quality through the life of the vehicle. A full lifetime warranty backs every one of their products and demonstrates the level of confidence and commitment Powerflex has to their customers.

The Powerflex Rear Beam Bushing for the BMW E30 3 Series (1984-1991) is designed to enhance the performance and handling characteristics of this classic vehicle by replacing the stock rubber bushings with high-quality polyurethane alternatives.

Key Features:

  1. Durable Polyurethane Construction: Powerflex bushings are crafted from high-performance polyurethane, which provides superior durability compared to OEM rubber. This material is resistant to wear from heat, oil, and road conditions, ensuring longevity and consistent performance over time.

  2. Enhanced Handling and Stability: By minimizing flex and movement in the rear suspension, Powerflex bushings significantly improve the stability of the rear end during acceleration and cornering. This results in sharper handling, better grip, and an overall more responsive driving experience.

  3. Performance Options:

    • Road Series: This option balances improved handling with comfort, making it suitable for daily driving. It enhances stability and responsiveness while maintaining a level of NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) that is acceptable for everyday use.
    • Black Series: Designed for motorsport enthusiasts, the Black Series provides maximum stiffness and control. This version is ideal for track use, delivering superior performance but may increase NVH, making it less suitable for casual driving.
  4. Direct Fitment: These bushings are designed as direct replacements for the OEM bushings, ensuring a straightforward installation process. Replacing worn bushings with Powerflex units can restore and even enhance the handling characteristics of the E30.

  5. Longevity and Reliability: The robust construction of Powerflex bushings means they can withstand the rigors of both daily driving and high-performance use. They are less likely to degrade or crack over time, offering a reliable long-term solution for E30 owners.

Applications:

  • BMW E30 3 Series (1984-1991)
