Meyle are great and I have them on my wife's 2003 3.0 with standard 17" wheels and MXV4's. Great ride and are solid rubber instead of liquid filled like OEM.
On my 4.8is I stayed with OEM as it has 20" wheels with DWS's and virtually every little bump in the road is felt to some degree but, a nice ride regardless. Good Luck!

Get Meyle HD bushings. These are not fluid filled like the OE ones. They have to say HD in order to be solid rubber, the regular Meyle ones are fluid filled from what I can remember.

Get Meyle HD, better than fluid-filled Lemforder
When your steering wheel sakes while breaking. When you have play/movement while your wheel is off the ground and you can shake it.

cheers for all the replies....but will the HD solid ones being HDheavy duty absorb more punishment and impact of crappy roads here or will the extra stress be transmitted to other components connected to the bushings.....?

I had no idea they were gone, until car went for it's inspection and the engineer a very honest guy told me at next service get the front bushings replaced, also to be honest i saw some stain on one bushing a while back so could have been the fluid leaked, other than that never noticed any of the symptoms described here....ok so general consensus seems myle as long as they dont kill other parts connected i will go for them |

Even with your ruff roads the HD bushings should not cause excessive vibrations.

I give ECS way too many plugs on here lol. Here's an idea, how about offering the Level 1 Suspension rebuild kit with the option of Meyle HD control arms (hint I may be doing this in a few months).
are all items in that level 1 kit Febi? |

THIS one? Uro, OCap, and genuine BMW if you click "Kit Content" below the price it should open up a drop down with what parts are in the kit.
