Tomorrow I am going to have in my hands the bushes (the BMW Motorsport ones).
I will provide photos... |

The bushes from BMW Motorsport are uniball joint. (I still need to order 3 parts (the uniball and 2 rings) on each side). I guess these won't have any play. IMAGE_130.jpg IMAGE_131.jpg Let's see what my father's opinion is... |

So, I got the rest of the parts.
They are solid/uniball. But there is something strange, they are very thin. Why is that ? Any ideas ? IMAGE_135.jpg IMAGE_136.jpg IMAGE_137.jpg IMAGE_138.jpg IMAGE_139.jpg |

The only thing that I can think is that you put 2 of them on each arm.
If that's the case, I will leave it because 2 of them are very expensive ! |

Perhaps they are designed for the motorsport cars which have could well have different Suspension parts (ceratinly if you look under an s2000 e46 320i the suspension looks completely different to a normal 3 series or M3).

The trailing arm is noted as part no.1 in the catalogue.
Also given that part 3332 2484016 is a 60mm circlip that holds the whole bearing housing in, it would seem logical that it is a different part to the factory item (as there's no circlip grove for holding the bearing housing within the trailing arm) |

As far as I know ( that's not saying much ) these bushes are pressed in and do not have any cir-clips.
![]() Hmm, Hmm... I should have looked at the pix below before bashing out the tosh above. These LOOK a bit SPECIAL. Are they some kind of an UPGRADE ? to the known weak spot of E46s. I was thinking about standard rubber/aluminium type, when I wrote the above. Last edited by mattCSLnut; 10-10-2009 at 02:14 PM. |

The bigger bush looks like a diff mounting bush?
![]() I personally wouldn't fit solid aluminium bushes Alex - unless you only plan to use the car on track? ![]() I think these must be meant for race car use...

I ran the Simpson solid RTAB bushes for over 20k miles on the road, they are fine.
