Hi dudes,

Does anyone have polyurethane on their E39 M5? If so,

Presumably you noticed a difference?

Where did you buy them?

Do I need a set for all round or are there 'key areas'?

Regards,

Neil.D

This was recently discussed on the m5board and there seemed to be consensus that poly bushes would reduce comfort significantly - the suggestion was to go with X5 thrust arm bushes only (as they are stronger)

OK fair enough, presumably it has been tried before to negative effect. Thanks for the link.

I read the thread on X5 bushes also, but still considered the Powerflex bushes as I had these (black ones- very hard) on my previous M5, albeit an e34, and it really did tighten up the front end and with no added harshness.
Good products in my opinion.
