E92 XI Thrust arm bushing (Control arm bushing)

Uzi_335xi · 01-26-2014, 12:25 PM

So it appears my 08 335xi coupe will need control arm bushing. After contacting the dealer about pricing, i have decided to do it my self. For those wanting to explain the difficulty, I have a shop with a hoist and press to work in.

The Question is, where to buy the bushings? found a few on www.rockauto.com but cant verify which is the right bushing. Dealer wants $90 per bushing, anyone have a good online source that ships to ontario for the lower control arm bushings?

$90 per for the hydro bushing? Even from the dealer that is insane, it shouldn't be more than mid $50s. Best place I order my parts from is ECS.

getbmwparts.com or bmwpartspros.com (which is even cheaper than Tischer).

I also have some bushings (rear) that aren't looking very good - unfortunately I don't have a lift or a press

oh really? That's damn near reasonable. I'll have to look into that

rockauto.com is very legit and reasonable. They seem to be on of the distributors other places get their stuff from. It's like buying parts at Costco, since they sell so much it's kinda wholesale to the public. I just replaced my front lower rear control arms on my 08 335xi sedan with ones from them. It can be a little tough figuring out which is the right one, but there are often different companies to choose from that all fit. Even with shipping their prices are hard to beat. And the shipping is relatively quick.
