The stock E46 rear diff bushing is meant for that comfort. Its meant to be quite. So BMW allows for a little bit of movement for the sake of comfort. However, with its \"floating\" design it can fail under normal street use let alone any kind of performance driving. So we have the perfect solution. 80a soft poly is for that OEM + feel. That means you want a subtle upgrade for your street E46 without too much of a compromise in comfort, these are a happy medium. 80a are designed for the street enthusiast. 95a is great for dual purpose aggressive street and track applications. Delrin bushings are generally best for race applications only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGaragistic 14mm Bolt Upgrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you plan on doing any serious driving, make sure to click the dropdown and select our Garagistic M14 Bolt Upgrade - a tried and tested solution to weak stock diff bolts!
