About to pull the trigger on this as I forgot to order with everything else. Is the preferred course of action the factory bushing p/n 33171134802 or the Z3m bushing p/n 33-17-2-228-425.
Thanks

$302 vs $352 Good lord! I'm all about OEM bushings but at this point I'd just go 3rd party.sigpic -
I’ve found the z3 one for as low as $275 but the other one is not cheap.sigpic15 year old me is super impressed with real meComment

Do not get the $20 OEM Corteco either. It's known to be slightly oversized and will brake your cover once you press it in. I opted for Powerflex 80A poly. It's a two piece design with reinforcement washers for only $45."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

Yeah I’ve got all rubber bushings throughout not sure how a polymer compound bushing would mix in there. Car is all stock power wise and no plan to change that for the time being.sigpic15 year old me is super impressed with real meComment

I would still pay the money for a good stock bushing. Poly diff bushings IMO don't last as long (they're either too soft to be effective, or so harsh that you'll get a ton of NVH). A new stock bushing will last 20+ years. I threw the last poly diff bushing I had in the trash after only 5 years.Comment

Yeah went with the stock ix one, I mean in the grand scheme that wasn’t and let’s be honest most I’ll have to fork over for a part.sigpic15 year old me is super impressed with real meComment
