Drivetrain Mounts and Upgrades for BMW 3 Series E46 (1999-2005)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

From the factory, engine and transmission mounts are rubber and thus a wear component. Worn out engine or transmission mounts create sloppiness and a disconnect between the driver and your BMW's powerplant. If your vehicle is purpose built for the track, we recommend solid engine and transmission mounts. These have zero deflection, but come at the expense of added NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness). Poly engine and transmission mounts offer a good balance between OEM rubber and solid mounts for those with mixed purpose vehicles, offering great performance and connection with little sacrifice in terms of NVH.

Differential bushings are responsible for keeping the differential in solid alignment while dampening drivetrain vibration. While OE rubber bushings are fine when they are new from the factory, aged and worn out rubber bushings create a multitude of issues that can range from annoying to dangerous. As a factory bushing ages, it begins to harden and become brittle. When this happens the bushing will actually shrink and allow for movement at the differential mounting point. At this point, the differential is free to shift under load causing a noticeable clunking noise under acceleration and deceleration and massively increasing the stress on the driveshaft and axles. Manual transmissions suffer the worst from this as it can make shifting difficult since the differential will shift when the clutch is engaged and disengaged.

By replacing these bushings with full polyurethane, the movement is eliminated since the mounting point is supported by a much stiffer material that will not harden or shrink over time. This means less stress on the driveshaft and axles and greater longevity of supporting components. 

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 acceleration response, more direct shifting feel and overall improved drivetrain composure with Powerflex performance polyurethane 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.

Powerflex's new transfer case bushing insert is made from polyurethane and is designed to reinforce your OE rubber transfer case bushing. This helps to stiffen the bushing and limits excessive movement of the transfer case. This Street bushing is rated at 70A durometer, which is a bit stiffer than your OE bushing's rubber. This is perfect for someone who daily drives their BMW but still wants a bit extra support for their transfer case bushing. As this bushing is 70A durometer, a small amount of extra NVH can be expected.

When working on the rear subframe, replacement of any rubber bushings and mounts should be performed. This is the front differential mount bushing and it takes the majority of the torquing motion of the diff when under load. The constant twisting will cause this bushing to wear out pretty fast. This is the Original BMW rubber part.

Applications:
2001-2006 E46 M3, M3 CSL coupe and convertible
2007-up Z4 M Roadster, M Coupe

Powerflex's new transfer case bushing insert is made from polyurethane and is designed to reinforce your OE rubber transfer case bushing. This helps to stiffen the bushing and limits excessive movement of the transfer case. This Performance bushing is rated at 80A durometer, which is moderately stiffer than your OE bushing's rubber. This is perfect for someone who occasionally tracks their BMW and is looking for better performance at the cost of a bit more NVH. As this bushing is 80A durometer, a moderate amount of extra NVH should be expected.

This is the stock transmission mount for the E46 M3 (6 speed manual). As the rubber mounts wear there is more flex and twist as the engine delivers torque. This can also throw off the alignment of the shift linkage and lead to difficult shifting. If left alone the sloppiness in the driveline could lead to a mis-shift and an expensive engine rebuild. This is the Original BMW M3 transmission mount for the best quality.

Thanks to the higher engine output in the E46 M3, this mount can also be used on the non-M E36 and E46 models as an upgrade. A good mild / street upgrade if your transmission mounts are worn, but still want to maintain good ride comfort.

Sold individually, 2 needed per car.

This transmission mount fits the following BMWs:
1992-1999 E36 3 Series including 325i, 325is, 328i, 328is & 323is (5 speed manual)
1995-1999 E36 M3 (manual transmission)
1999-2005 E46 3 Series including 323i, 323Ci, 328i, 328Ci, 325i, 325Ci, 330i, 330Ci (manual transmission)
2001-2006 E46 M3 including coupe & convertible (manual transmission)

These rubber bushings from Meyle are a direct replacement for the stock differential bushings in the E46 3-series, E83 X3 SAV, and Z4 Roadster. If your original bushings are worn (likely around 100,000 miles) these are a great replacement upgrade. The front bushings are the stock OEM type rubber bushings. The rear bushing is a Meyle HD upgrade over stock - about 15% stiffer than the originals. This means the bushing will not flex and twist as much. This puts more power to the wheels since power is no longer used up for 'torquing' the bushing. These are not race bushings; the rubber material is perfectly suitable for street use.

The non-M E46/E83/Z4 models use three differential mounts - two front bushings in the subframe and one rear mount in the diff cover. This set of bushings covers all three. You can opt to include new mounting hardware in the Options list below.

This item fits the following BMWs:
1999-2005 E46 BMW 323i 323ci 325i 325ci 325xi 328i 328ci 330i 330ci 330xi
