BMW Suspension Parts for BMW E46 M3 S54 (1999-2005)

Sway bars are an essential upgrade when trying to get the best handling capabilities out of your BMW. Stock sway bars allow for too much play and excessive body roll, not keeping the wheels as firmly planted as they should be. Whiteline offers their performance sway bar kits that are designed to improve your BMW's handling characteristics and come with upgraded polyurethane bushings as well.

This Whiteline 30mm sway bar gives you more grip, better handling, and better outright performance. Sway bar upgrades are one of the best dollar-for-dollar investments you can make, improving your BMW's handling dynamics without affecting the comfort or ride quality.

This part fits the following BMWs:
2001 - 2006 E46 M3

Control arm bushings play a key role in connecting the wheels to the chassis of the vehicle. Tasked with keeping suspension geometry in check while absorbing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) factory rubber bushings were engineered to provide a balance of comfort and control. As a factory bushing ages, it becomes brittle and begins to harden. When this happens the bushing will actually shrink and allow excess play in the suspension joint. This is typically felt by a sudden jerk forward after the car comes to a stop and is a leading cause of "sloppy" or "loose" suspension feel. By replacing the bushing with a full polyurethane unit or using a bushing insert, this play is eliminated since the suspension joint is being supported 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 inputs from the driver are effectively transferred to the wheels and vital road information is transmitted properly from the wheels to the driver.

Powerflex Black Series bushings are the ultimate in track and race bushings. Featuring 95A durometer polyurethane, Black Series bushings are 25% stiffer than street bushings. Engineered to perform, Powerflex performance polyurethane control arm 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.

Sway bars transmit cornering forces from the outside wheels to the inside wheels, helping to keep the vehicle flat during cornering. This in turn reduces body roll and improves the driver's cornering confidence. OEM rubber sway bar bushings are designed with comfort in mind, allowing the sway bar to articulate while permitting additional movement, leading to less-than-ideal bar retention and causes unnecessary body roll.

Powerflex polyurethane sway bar bushings are firmer than factory rubber bushings, reducing body roll and keeping sway bars in check. Polyurethane bushings won't slop around like OEM bushings, allowing sway bars to function at their fullest potential.

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.

Upgrade your vehicle's handling performance with Powerflex polyurethane sway bar bushings. Unlike OEM rubber bushings that prioritize comfort over precision, Powerflex bushings are designed to reduce body roll and enhance cornering confidence.

Sway bars play a crucial role in transmitting cornering forces from the outside wheels to the inside wheels, ensuring your vehicle stays flat during sharp turns. However, OEM rubber bushings can lead to unnecessary body roll due to their flexible nature, compromising the effectiveness of the sway bars.

Powerflex polyurethane bushings offer a firmer alternative to OEM rubber, providing improved bar retention and minimizing sloppiness during cornering. This results in enhanced handling capabilities and a more engaging driving experience.

As the leading suspension bushing manufacturer in Europe, Powerflex leverages its expertise in polyurethane materials and advanced manufacturing techniques to produce premium bushings that meet exact-fit standards. Whether you're driving on the street or hitting the track, Powerflex bushings are built to last longer than OEM rubber counterparts while delivering superior performance.

For easy installation and prolonged service life, we recommend using Powerflex Copper Grease PCG1. This grease helps reduce squeaks and ensures optimal performance of the bushings over time.

Choose Powerflex street bushings for daily-driven vehicles with occasional autocross or track outings. For dedicated track cars seeking maximum stiffness, Powerflex Black Series bushings with a 95A durometer polyurethane material are the ultimate choice, offering 25% more stiffness than street bushings.

To top it off, Powerflex stands behind its products with a lifetime warranty for the original purchaser, providing peace of mind and assurance of quality and durability. Upgrade your suspension with Powerflex and experience the difference in handling performance.

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.
