Price quote for differential bushing replacement?

GT_Juls · 04-15-2019, 09:09 PM

Sad news today as my out of warranty F80 M3 has a rear differential bushing cracked. Has anyone gone aftermarket solution like poweflex? Would like to also get some price ideas on how much this would cost out of pocket.

Yes and it was 500+ 80 for the oem part. Feels amazing and back to normal.

How many miles on the car and how did you know the bushing failed? Want to keep an eye out for it.

I have 70k mi but has been bad since 60k. Im looking at getting mine replaced soon as I can barely drive the car normally and have to be super careful. Best way to check is just look at the bushing, its the rear one on the diff there is only one on the rear. To check while driving the car, put it in sport plus, manual mode if dct, and just hang around 3-5k rpm anywhere there, let off throttle and then get on throttle hard, if you hear a loud thump in the back, its bad.

Im currently replacing mine. But it seems seriously labor intense. Quite a bit of rear end stuff needs to be loosened.
