///M Front Lower Wishbone Rear Bush Options

SCZ4 · 02-13-2015, 09:12 AM

Hi Guys,

As part of my owning maintenance, now at 60k miles, to freshen things up I'm going to the replace the above bushes. From the searches I've done, no one in the UK offers Poly style bushes her in the UK. Is this the same for you guys in the US?

I can get new BMW bushes and the metal lollipop for about £110 delivered, saves messing around burning out the old bushes and pressing in the new ones.

The Z4M bushes have an eccentric fitting, so can't fit the poly bushes available for the E46 M3. In fact from the looks of it, many E46 owners fit the Z4M bush as an upgrade to get more castor.

So just before I order from BMW, any other options? Don't mind importing, I have Rogue rear trailing arm bushes that I imported, but they don't have anything

SuperFlex. Sourced from the UK. A few of us are running these and happy with them. Don't have the link but you should be able to find a few threads on them if you search.

Strange, I contacted them and they said no for the ///M, website also says the same. Was it a special order?

That is powerflex.

Superflex is a different brand.

These are the ones:

SF095-2558K is the p/n

They are not originally made for the z4m but are a e46 66mm offset bushing (comes down to the same...)

Ah perfect!! Apologies for misreading the post. I hadn't heard of supeflex and automatically thought Powerflex.

Great, so those are effectively eccentric bushes with the 66mm "double offset"?
