Thanks to all in advance.
The NVH is not that bad at all. Only on really rough cobble stone roads is the NVH worse, and then only about 20% more I would say. The M3 subframe bushings are a win-win if you ask me. Your rear suspension will not feel like its held in place by rubber bands! It will feel like a firm, but solid car. We should have gotten these from BMW from the get go.

My biggest surprise is how much better the front suspension seems to work now with the firmer rear bushings. Also when you go over small dips or bumps at low speeds, or man hole covers... you will not have to contantly correct the steering to maintain a straight ahead driving line. Do it!


Dackel's replacement of rear suspension OE bushings with M3 ones…
