I need to purchase some solid differential bushings from Turner Motorsports and just wondering if anyone wants to split shipping with me. If I do it by myself it's going to cost AUD $100 just for the shipping.

They have a drivetrain sale at the moment so even more reason to get something now!

What else do they have ? I might be keen

I'm keen on a m sport steering wheel trim for e92

Have a check out of their website. I'm not sure if they stock normal things like steering wheel trim though. More performance oriented modifications.

Lol I put it in and in USD my shipping is USD$72. Combined it's USD$195. So if anything with this combo we pay more by combining. I have no idea how shipping is so expensive for such small items.

TMS website sucks... Email them your order and they'll provide a correct shipping price, I've had this discussion with them before.

Thanks for the heads up

The best places to get genuine parts is Bloomfield BMW in USA
I been dealing with them for a few years and Scott notifies you straight away if he has to order any parts inn and I have a stack of small items coming now and the shipping only $26.77US goes down to $22
Prices are excellent as well.
FCP EURO is excellent as well check both of them.
I noticed that shipping costs have sky rocketed on ECStuning.com

I tried emailing them for me and they told me that there are more shipping options when I go through the online checkout. The other shipping options were the more expensive options... Pretty sure it shouldn't cost $100 to send through 3 mounts...

I'm getting axle tramp whenever I try to launch. Happens even in the wet. Can't even do a burnout in the wetbox at the strip. When I first installed the coilovers, suspension arms, LSD, solid subframe bushings etc everything was ok. Since then I upped the power, did a few more events, jacked up the car from the rear etc. Seems like it's a wear issue since I can't see it being anything else so I assume it's bushings. If it's not the diff bushings then it could be toe arm bushings but I'd think that's less likely.

froop, what you need is a diff lockdown kit.

I considered that but the only lockdown kit available for an M3 rear end is the DEFIV one and that costs almost USD$1000 + shipping. That's probably over $2k landed which is just stupid.

I also cannot see how if my diff is solidly mounted to the subframe from 3 points using TMS solid aluminium or delrin bushings, why I would need the extra bracing. I can't imaging that there would be much flex in the subframe or diff housing to require that additional bracing. Seems like an overpriced and unnecessary product.

Now if ***********s made a compatible brace for USD$200 or whatever they do it for I would buy that, but unfortunately they don't.

Also would be great if MFactory made solid rubber bushings for the M3 diff like they do for the 135i/335i but no matter how many times I ask they haven't really properly considered it. Those are super cheap compared to the TMS ones.
