Differential Mounts

Upgrade your drivetrain performance with ECS Tuning Performance Polyurethane Differential Bushings—engineered specifically for BMW F8x/G8x models and designed to deliver superior power transfer, durability, and driving precision.

Factory rubber differential bushings are built for comfort, absorbing vibrations between the differential and chassis during everyday driving. However, they are a known wear item that degrade over time—especially under spirited or aggressive driving conditions. Many F8x/G8x owners experience premature cracking and wear, leading to excessive drivetrain movement, reduced throttle response, and unwanted wheel hop.

ECS Tuning’s in-house engineered polyurethane differential bushings provide a high-performance solution to these common issues. By significantly reducing drivetrain deflection, these upgraded bushings enhance throttle response, improve handling stability, and minimize wheel hop—resulting in a more connected and controlled driving experience.

Constructed from durable 95A durometer red polyurethane and paired with precision CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum sleeves, these bushings are built to withstand extreme driveline forces while maintaining street-friendly comfort. Unlike solid or delrin mounts, ECS polyurethane bushings strike the perfect balance between performance and daily drivability—delivering increased rigidity without excessive noise, vibration, or harshness (NVH).

Whether you're carving canyon roads, launching at the drag strip, or simply commuting, these performance differential bushings ensure more efficient power delivery from the differential to the wheels—giving you better throttle modulation, traction, and overall control.

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.

The main mounting bolt for the differential in the E36 is susceptible to shearing off during extreme driving conditions. This can cause internal damage to your diff, leaving you stranded at the track or on the side of the road. Active Autowerke's differential support bracket eliminates this issue forever in under an hour installation.
