[OOS] E53 Nolathane Rear Subframe Mount Bushing kit $91 + shipping from MAPerformance

[haigha]

Edit: Now OOS (out of stock). Someone here get them?

I got the last one in stock a few months back. Now they have another on clearance for $91. I paid ~$10 for shipping. Still haven't installed mine because my mechanic friend has been ill.

Not for me.. I want to reduce NVH not increase it. I replaced mine with standard ones from BMW. I did contemplate putting in poly bushes but decided against it due to the above possibility.

I'm not sure on the NVH increase. I haven't installed mine yet. I did read this before purchasing the kit:

I just replaced the rear subframe bushing on my 2005 X5 3.0 with Nolathane subframe bushing. I rate them A++. Ride comfort is smoother over rough roads and notably reduced bounce over uneven pavement. Acceleration seems to take less effort, so I expect there may be a slight fuel savings. Cost was $166 shipped, not much higher than than OEM but with significantly improved performance and longevity.

You can't compare new bushings to trashed old bushings. I could say the same thing over new stock ones. The difference was enormous.

Personally, given how many times I have installed polyurethane and then removed it within weeks or months, I would not. I keep telling myself "it'll be different this time," and that's almost never actually the case. (The only poly bushings I'm currently happy with are installed on the 993.)
