which rear diff bushings for daily driver
I'm pretty sure rear diff bushings are bad in my 328i, at least the large diff bushing is cracked. I mostly use my 328i as a daily driver when conditions don't allow 335i to put the power down (snow etc), so it's no "race car" by any means, and I don't want too much extra NVH. What rear diff bushings would you recommend? Obviously, OE/OEM bushings would provide stock NVH, but rubber bushings might get tricky to install, so some poly bushings can be an alternative, can't they?
I was thinking about getting these Whiteline bushings https://whitelineperformance.com/pro...19-bushing-kit Has anybody used these before? I saw a couple of vids where somebody was saying these are "too soft" and "not worth it", but perhaps their expectation was that these will be like solid bushings

Harder durometer driveline component bushings generally makes a pretty large impact on NVH. As in, it vibrates and gets a lot louder. I’d stay with stock for daily

I'm probably going to go with revshift street bushings (https://revshift.com/products/differ...44729534054629). they are promising OEM+ NVH etc, but maybe even harder bushings will be miles better than torn OEM ones. Poly bushings are probably going to be relatively easy to remove later if I don't like them.
One thing not clear to me is if poly diff bushings will need to be lubricated from time to time, I'd really prefer not having to do that.
