BMW Suspension Bushings & Mounts

Replacing your struts and shocks? Don't forget the bushings! The rubber mounts for the shocks will go bad over time, especially if you drive hard or the roads are particularly rough. The shock mounts locate the front struts and rear shocks to the car - providing a quiet and vibration-free buffer between the road and the cabin. Shock mounts and bushings can wear out just like any other rubber part on the car. This leads to more noise and harshness reaching the chassis and may complicate your new suspension install. When installing new shocks, that is the perfect time to also replace the mounts. There is no additional time to install them, no special tools required, and doesn't take any extra time! If you re-use the original mounts you have the risk of them failing before your next shock replacement, doubling your labor costs. 

This item fits the following BMWs: 
2006-2012 E9X BMW All xi models - 325xi 328xi 330xi 335xi

This package of OEM E82 E90 E92 diff mounts replaces the stock rubber diff bushings. On a tuned 335i you may have noticed more driveline shudder or problems hooking up during hard launches. What happens is the stock rubber bushings are under constant flex as engine torque is transmitted through the differential. Under normal driving with a stock car the bushings are rarely stressed. But factor in significant additional torque from a tuned N54/N55 and the stock rubber will quickly show its weaknesses. You may have even broken a diff bolt or two as the heavy differential shifts around. Even non-turbo E82 and E9X models may benefit from fresh bushings.

This is a set of stock rubber bushings, made by OEM supplier Lemforder. They are the same as the Genuine BMW E9X diff mount bushings, but without the more expensive branding. If you're turned off by potential side effects of urethane or Delrin then the OEM diff mounts are your best option. The OEM mounts fit and perform just like the originals so there is no second guessing their quality. If you're looking for an upgrade we offer E9X solid Delrin and aluminum diff mounts that work well, even in street applications.

E9X Diff Mount Set includes:

• 33176760287 x 2, front differential mount
• 33176770866 x 1, rear differential mount
• (new hardware is optional and can be ordered separately below)

The perfect upgrade for any E46, this finned differential cover increases cooling to the rear differential to prevent over heating and possible damage. This is a complete kit including fluid and drain plugs.

Includes the following

• Aluminum finned differential cover
• Drain & fill plug with sealing o-ring
• 2 Quarts of Redline 75w90

This kit includes Turner Motorsport solid aluminum differential race mounts pre installed in the differential cover for a quick install. These mounts where developed by Turner Motorsport for their Grand-Am Cup E46 M3 race cars, the advantages of solid aluminum mounts is increased suspension & drivetrain response, less drivetrain loss resulting in more wheel horsepower, and longevity - they effectively last forever. These CNC-machined mounts are a direct replacement for the stock rubber pieces, and have been lightened to remove excess weight. 

If you're replacing the struts and shocks on your 325Xi or 330Xi you should also pick up this mount package. As these cars have gotten older, their rubber mounts have deteroriated. If your shocks have gone bad then chances are very good that the mounts need replacing too. The rubber bushings are designed to isolate the chassis from bumps, potholes, and poor roads and give a harsh-free ride and precise handling. But they won't last forever. These mounts and pads are the perfect complement to your new shocks to help restore your car's handling and performance.

This mount package contains all of the commonly replaced rubber mounts and pads for the front and rear shocks on a 1999-2006 E46 325Xi and 330Xi AWD. These are easily installed - there's no additional labor, time, or effort and special tools are not required.

The basic E46 Xi mount package includes:

• Front strut mounts (also known as the guide support)
• Front strut reinforcement plates (to prevent cracking and deforming of the front strut towers)
• Front and rear self-locking mounting nuts
• Rear Lifetime Warranty 'Repair Shop' shock mounts
• Rear shock mount reinforcements (to prevent cracking of shock towers)
• Rear shock mount gaskets

The spring pads, dust boots, and bump stops can be added from the menu below. Note that front bump stops and dust boots are generally not required if you're using Bilstein struts, Bilstein coil overs, H&R coil overs, or KW coil overs. Those struts come with their own front bump stops and boots and may include rear stops and boots as well.
