It's amazing how much I miss this place when it is down. Hmmm. How many times did I hit refresh in the last 8 hours?

well working at a bmw shop i get the oportunity to see and use a ton of bushings and over the years i have found out a few things, the blue e34 bushings suck ass, the white 735s are a little better, the green 750s are a little better still but they all are the same crappy design that uses a pop in plastic piece on ether side to support the bushing, the m5 bushing is not solid but is strong enough to support itself with a better internal design, in over 5 years of installing m5 bushings i have not had to replace one, everything else has come back (had some blues comeback in 3 months)

I took pictures...need to host soon. After 3 sets of FP Groton pencil eraser bushings with plastic inserts that dont fit tight I needed to splurge for the real ****. Dont like the last years shake while braking so I decided to opt for the real bushings that arent handicapped with plastic crap.

I would at least like a year between replacing these things. The Pass side FP was so stuck it sheared both bolts on the removal tool, good thing I have 200 lbs of bolts to shovel through. took almost 3 hours this time, last was an hour. They were torqued correctly at 68lbs, why it stuck is beyond me, complete bastard to get to pop.
