Made in the USA For our Grand-Am Cup E46 M3s we wanted a fully solid differential mount setup. The advantages of a fully-solid aluminum set is that they last forever, quickens response in the suspension, and frees up horsepower to the wheels. These fully solid aluminum diff mounts are CNC machined and lightened for a direct replacement of the original rubber pieces.

By substituting aluminum for rubber we can take out all of the deflection and 'wind up' inherent to the original rubber pieces. The high deflection rate of the stock rubber means the suspension reacts slower as the bushing is compressed. The power used to compress that bushing is instead passed straight to the axles and wheels. And since there is no time lost to deflection, response is greatly improved. These diff mounts are only recommended for racecars since the aluminum transfers more noise and vibration.

This is a 3-piece set with a single front bushing and two rear bushings to press into the cover. They mount with the stock BMW hardware.

This item fits the following BMWs:

Worn rubber differential mounts will lead to the differential twisting and shifting around in the rear subframe. Not only will this be noisy but it's bad for driver confidence and bad for the chassis as well. Even on fresh rubber bushings the differential has deflection and twist, especially if the car has been modified for more torque. Since the differential is centrally mounted in the rear subframe, with all suspension mounts interconnected, a differential with too much deflection will affect handling and could even damage the rear subframe.

These 88A urethane E46 M3 diff mounts are much stiffer than stock but still not as solid as our Turner aluminum/Delrin bushings. This set will resist twisting much better than the stock rubber mounts. Included is the front diff mount and two rear mounts in the cover.

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.

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.

The Powerflex Rear Diff Front Mount Bushing for the BMW E46 3 Series and Z4 is a premium upgrade designed to enhance the stability and performance of the drivetrain. Here’s an alternative description:

  • High-Performance Polyurethane: Powerflex bushings are made from advanced polyurethane, which is significantly more durable than standard rubber. This material resists wear, deformation, and the effects of heat, oil, and contaminants, making it a long-lasting solution for high-performance applications.

  • Purpose: The rear differential front mount is subjected to high levels of stress during acceleration and cornering. Over time, the stock rubber bushing can degrade, causing excessive movement in the differential. The Powerflex bushing eliminates this movement, allowing for improved drivetrain control and reducing unwanted flex.

  • Key Features:

    • Enhanced Rigidity: By replacing the softer OEM rubber with Powerflex’s stiffer polyurethane, this bushing minimizes differential movement under load, resulting in improved throttle response and sharper handling.
    • Improved Longevity: Unlike the factory rubber mounts, which can crack and wear out over time, the polyurethane construction ensures long-lasting performance and reliability.
    • Performance-Oriented Design: Powerflex’s bushing is engineered to handle the increased demands of spirited driving and track use, offering better control without sacrificing comfort.
  • Benefits:

    1. Improved Power Transfer: Reducing differential movement helps direct more power to the wheels, improving acceleration and delivering a more connected driving feel.
    2. Better Handling and Stability: With less flex in the differential, the car becomes more stable, particularly during cornering and high-speed driving, enhancing overall handling precision.
    3. Durable and Maintenance-Free: Polyurethane bushings are resistant to common automotive chemicals, heat, and road debris, providing a set-and-forget solution that lasts longer than rubber components.
  • Fitment: This bushing is designed as a direct replacement for the front mount of the rear differential in BMW E46 3 Series and Z4 models. It installs easily, without requiring modifications, and offers an immediate improvement in drivetrain response.

In summary, the Powerflex Rear Diff Front Mount Bushing is an essential upgrade for BMW E46 and Z4 drivers who want to improve drivetrain rigidity, reduce flex, and enhance overall performance. This bushing provides a durable, long-lasting solution that’s perfect for both street and track use, delivering better power transfer and handling.

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 is the rear rubber-isolated differential mount. The diff mounts take the bulk of the twisting and binding as power is transmitted through the differential. We use a Meyle HD rubber bushing for the rear mount as it's stronger than the factory part. (33176751808). We also recommend replacing the front differential mount 33171093175MY at the same time.

Meyle is a German brand in business since 1958 and all of their products are TUV approved and meet or exceed ISO standards. Heavy Duty components are designed to provide significantly long lifespans than other aftermarket and stock OE components. Each part includes a 4 year warranty.

The Powerflex Heritage Rear Differential Mount for the BMW E46 M3, available through outlets like Turner Motorsport, is an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts seeking to enhance the performance and durability of their car's rear differential while preserving its classic appearance. The Heritage Series is tailored for those who prefer a more subtle aesthetic than the brightly colored bushings typical of Powerflex's standard line.

Key features:

  • Heritage Polyurethane Composition: The bushings are made from high-performance polyurethane, providing superior resistance to wear, cracking, and degradation compared to the original rubber mounts. This helps improve handling without compromising ride comfort.
  • Classic Appearance: Unlike the regular Powerflex bushings, which come in bright colors (yellow or purple), the Heritage Series bushings are finished in a muted dark green/black, allowing them to blend seamlessly into the undercarriage of the vehicle, ideal for those who prefer a more OEM look.
  • Enhanced Handling and Stability: The rear diff mount works to reduce the unwanted movement of the differential, which translates to improved traction, better throttle response, and more consistent handling in high-load scenarios like hard cornering or acceleration. This significantly reduces wheel hop and enhances rear-end stability.
  • Direct Fitment: These mounts are designed to be a direct replacement for the factory bushings, requiring no additional modifications. This makes them an excellent choice for both DIY and professional installs.
  • Perfect for Street and Track Use: Combining durability and flexibility, this mount is suitable for E46 M3s that see a mix of daily driving and occasional track use, offering the best of both worlds by improving responsiveness while maintaining comfort.

Turner Motorsport often emphasizes the balance of performance and OEM-like comfort with these mounts, making them an excellent choice for those wanting to upgrade their rear differential mounting without detracting from the car's original feel.

Your rear differential is indirectly connected to your right foot through the engine and driveline, and connected to the seat of your pants through the chassis. Soft factory rubber differential bushings absorb vibrations between chassis and differential, providing comfort and softness in both of these connections.

Enter ECS Tuning's In-House Engineered Performance Polyurethane Differential Bushings. By eliminating the deflection factory rubber bushings permit, the connection between your right foot (and your seat) to the wheels is improved. Removal of this slop allows for crisper power transfer from differential to wheels, which means better throttle control while carving a canyon road, drag racing, sliding the rear end out, or just driving to work. This is achieved without the harshness or vibration associated with delrin or solid differential mounts.

Featuring a tough 88A durometer polyurethane and Black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum Sleeve, our Performance Polyurethane Differential Bushings are more resistant to chemicals, ozone degradation, road salt, and general wear and tear than factory rubber bushings, resulting in a longer service life.
