The Powerflex Black Series Shifter Arm Rear Bushing for BMW 3 Series, 5 Series, and Z Series is a high-performance upgrade, engineered for those seeking superior precision and durability in their vehicle’s shifting mechanism. Part of the Powerflex Black Series, this bushing is designed specifically for track and high-performance use, delivering exceptional stability under extreme conditions.
This rear shifter arm bushing upgrade is perfect for drivers who want the best in control, performance, and long-term durability, making it an essential component for serious driving and racing applications.
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 street bushings are ideal for street driven vehicles and those that see occasional autocross or track time. Need bushings for a dedicated track car? 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.

APEX light alloy wheels are the next evolution in flow-forged wheel technology for BMWs. Flow-forming is a semi-forging process that produces a wheel typically stronger than a traditional cast wheel yet is still light weight. The wheels are around 10lbs lighter per wheel than a comparable factory wheel! That's reduced unsprung weight that improves all aspects of performance. The spokes and barrel have been designed to allow generous clearance for big brakes. In other words, these wheels are very impressively engineered and look great too! The design is based on classic motorsport themes that blend with BMW styling and appearance. These wheels look right at home on many BMW models. Multiple color and profile options allow you to set just the right look and stance for your car. As well as being pleasing to the eye these are very strong and functional wheels that are at home on the street as well as the racetrack. Don't let the price fool you - these wheels are high quality, high strength, and in high demand.
All APEX wheels are the BMW standard 5/120 bolt pattern and with a 72.6mm center bore. They are a direct fit many BMW models and may fit other models with a specific wheel spacer. The original BMW center cap, TPMS sensors, and original lug bolts are all carried over from your original wheels (wheel bolts may vary if spacers are used). They come in a wide variety of diameter, width, and offset combinations which gives you multiple fitment and application opportunities. For street use we generally recommend a staggered setup with a rear wheel slightly wider than the front. For track and racing applications a square setup is desired with the same width in the front and rear. Wheel offsets may also vary based on the clearances and stance you wish to achieve. Refer to our image gallery for inspiration. If you'd like more input give us a call or e-mail and we'd be happy to go over the many options with you.
Note: careful consideration of wheel width, offset and tire sizing must be observed when choosing and installing larger wheels. Adding larger wheels may lead to rubbing on suspension components or bodywork. Wheel spacers, new alignment settings, inside fender modifications, or other adjustments may be required.

Improved Handling Dynamics: By minimizing differential movement, Powerflex bushings maintain proper alignment and enhance the overall handling precision of the vehicle. This results in more responsive steering and improved cornering performance, providing a more engaging driving experience.
Reduced Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH): While these bushings are firmer than the factory rubber components, they are designed to minimize NVH. This means you can enjoy improved performance without a significant increase in cabin noise or discomfort, making them suitable for both daily driving and spirited performance use.
Longevity and Reliability: Powerflex bushings are designed to withstand the rigors of performance driving without deteriorating over time. This durability translates to fewer replacements and reduced maintenance, making them a cost-effective upgrade in the long run.
Direct Fit Replacement: These bushings are engineered to directly replace the factory bushings without modification. This simplifies the installation process, though some technical knowledge and tools may be required to ensure proper fitment.
Professional Installation Recommended: Given the importance of the rear differential in the overall drivetrain, professional installation is advised. This ensures that the bushings are installed correctly and that the differential is properly aligned.
Performance Drivers: If you’re looking to enhance your BMW's handling and responsiveness, especially during spirited driving or track events, these bushings will provide a noticeable improvement in performance and stability.
Preventive Maintenance: Upgrading to Powerflex bushings is a proactive measure to ensure the longevity of your differential and related components. If you're noticing signs of wear or if your car is regularly subjected to high-performance conditions, these bushings are a worthwhile investment.
In conclusion, Powerflex rear differential rear bushings for the BMW E60 and E63 are a vital upgrade for enthusiasts seeking enhanced performance and durability. These bushings improve handling precision, increase stability, and contribute to a more engaging driving experience, making them an excellent choice for both everyday driving and high-performance applications.

Apex ARC8 18x9.5" Square Wheel Set
If you're tracking your BMW you should absolutely have stickier rubber on wider wheels. Most BMWs have a staggered wheel set with a narrow front wheel that results in understeer. Adding a wider wheel will get you more rubber where it counts - reducing understeer and improving initial turn-in. Square wheel sets of the same size and offset also allow you to rotate tires around to get the most life out of pricey track tires. We have put this wheel set together using four APEX 9.5" wheels in a ET22 offset. A 9.5" wheel allows for 265-285 performance or R-comp tires.
APEX light alloy wheels are the next evolution in flow-forged wheel technology for BMWs. Flow-forming is a semi-forging process that produces a wheel typically stronger than a traditional cast wheel yet is still light weight. The wheels are around 10lbs lighter per wheel than a comparable factory wheel! That's reduced unsprung weight that improves all aspects of performance.
