What type / make etc of replacement bushes should I get for my 325is ?
I've just got some H&R suspension and some standard front and rear top mounts but what else do I need and where's best to get it from ?
Cheers

General consensus on here is to use OEM bushes, there are sections dedicated to this in the wiki with part numbers for each individual part.

Lemforder, make all/most bushes and are considered OEM quality (might even make them for BMW). I think Meyle are also good and Febi.

carparts4less seem to be coming up cheapest for Lemforder currently. They've got discount codes on their homepage too, dependant on how much you spend.

Think you can only get the trailing arm bushes and uprated top mounts from the stealers unless someone has bought OEM Quality ones elsewhere ?

I think you can get Lemforder trailing arm bushes through ECP but they might tell you computer says no. I know Febi do them as well. However, whenever I've asked around, they've been no cheaper than they would be from BMW, and the BMW ones are stamped with lemforder.

Just copy all those numbers, paste them in a PM to Cotswold Parts, and wait for a nice parcel to arrive through the post. There's only one "either/or" option on the list, and that's eccentric trailing arm bushes which are only needed for excessively modified (or damaged) trailing arms.
