3 way adjustable 30mm front sway bar / swaybar for E46 M3. Includes bushings.

  • Reduces body roll
  • Improves steering turn-in and handling

Sway bars are typically sold as a front and rear set to balance the handling. But a front sway bar only can also have excellent benefits, especially on a street car. Going with a larger front bar will improve steering and handling even at low-moderate speeds. Steering turn-in is faster and gives the car a more direct and responsive feel. Cars with staggered wheel fitments (a narrower front wheel compared to the rear) will especially benefit from this and help the front tire 'bite' into the road.

We use an adjustable 30mm sway bar that has been fine-tuned for use on the E46 M3. Urethane bushings with a reinforced inner core that requires no lubrication are included. These bars are crafted from a special spring steel that is both stronger and more resilient than competitive sway bars. They have been shot peened and heat treated, and feature precision forged ends.

This item fits the following BMWs:
2001-2006 E46 BMW M3

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. 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 BMW E24 / E28 / E32 / E34 / E36 / E39 / E46 / Z3 Rear Sway Bar Bushing – 15 mm is a specialized suspension upgrade designed to improve the performance of your BMW’s rear sway bar system. Engineered for BMW models with a 15 mm rear sway bar, this bushing provides a perfect fit and superior handling.

Key Features:

  • Precise Fit for 15 mm Sway Bars: This bushing is specifically designed for rear sway bars with a 15 mm diameter, ensuring a snug fit for a wide range of BMW models, including the E24, E28, E32, E34, E36, E39, E46, and Z3. The precise fit reduces play and ensures optimal performance of the sway bar.
  • Improved Handling and Stability: By replacing the factory rubber bushings with high-performance polyurethane, the rear sway bar becomes more effective at reducing body roll during cornering. This leads to improved vehicle stability, better grip, and sharper handling, particularly during spirited driving or on winding roads.
  • High-Quality Polyurethane Construction: Made from durable polyurethane, these bushings offer significant advantages over the original rubber bushings. They are resistant to wear, heat, and contaminants such as oil and grime, which ensures they maintain their performance and shape over a longer period.
  • Enhanced Performance Without Sacrificing Comfort: While these bushings provide firmer support for the sway bar, they are designed to strike a balance between performance and comfort. This allows you to enjoy improved handling without experiencing a harsh ride, making them suitable for daily driving as well as performance-oriented use.
  • Increased Durability: The polyurethane material ensures longevity and reduces the frequency of bushing replacements, making this a low-maintenance upgrade that keeps your suspension in optimal condition for a longer time.

These 15 mm Rear Sway Bar Bushings are ideal for BMW enthusiasts looking to upgrade their car’s handling dynamics. Whether you're driving a classic BMW like the E24 or a modern model like the E46, these bushings provide a straightforward way to enhance your vehicle's suspension, offering improved cornering precision and reduced body roll, while still preserving ride comfort for everyday use.
