Please ensure your correct model is selected

Building your perfect BMW is more than just adding horsepower and stiff suspension. Your drivetrain needs attention in order to deliver power effectively. Most BMWs feature comfortable clutch discs, heavy flywheels, long shifter throws, and open differentials. The drivetrain transmits power to the wheels, but can also be a source of power loss when it is designed for comfort rather than performance. Everything on this page will help you improve your power delivery and driving experience by providing custom Limited Slip Differentials, Short Shift Conversions, Performance Clutch Discs, Lightweight Flywheels, and anything else your BMW needs to be the perfect driving experience.

The Powerflex BMW E21 Rear Axle Carrier Mount Bushing (Black Series) is a specialized component designed for high-performance applications, particularly suited to motorsport or track use. It replaces the standard rubber bushing in the rear axle carrier, providing enhanced durability and precision.

Key Characteristics:

  • High-Performance Polyurethane: Constructed from an extra-stiff polyurethane blend, the Black Series bushings are 25% stiffer than Powerflex's standard bushings, offering superior rigidity and control.
  • Race-Focused: Designed for maximum performance, these bushings reduce unwanted movement in the rear axle, improving suspension geometry and alignment under load. This leads to sharper handling and better grip in aggressive driving scenarios.
  • Durability: Unlike OEM rubber bushings, these polyurethane versions resist wear, deformation, and degradation from heat and fluid exposure, making them ideal for extreme conditions.
  • Precision Fit: Engineered to fit BMW E21 models, they provide a direct replacement, offering ease of installation and compatibility without the need for modifications.

This bushing is part of Powerflex’s most performance-oriented range and is ideal for drivers seeking to maximize the performance potential of their BMW E21 on the track or during spirited driving. Comfort is secondary to improved handling and precision with this upgrade.

The Powerflex Rear Diff Mount Bushing for the BMW E21 offers a robust solution to support and stabilize the differential, replacing the standard rubber bushings with durable polyurethane. This upgrade minimizes unwanted differential movement, enhancing driving dynamics and responsiveness.

Key Benefits:

  1. Enhanced Stability: By minimizing differential movement, Powerflex bushings ensure consistent alignment, giving better rear-end stability.
  2. Improved Longevity: Unlike rubber, polyurethane is resistant to aging and degradation from elements like oil and road debris.
  3. Responsive Handling: With reduced play in the differential mount, power transfer becomes more direct, allowing for sharper throttle response.
  4. Vibration Dampening Options: Powerflex offers options like the Black Series for motorsport applications and the standard Purple for everyday performance with minimal increase in vibration.

These bushings are popular among E21 owners who want a durable, performance-oriented solution that balances comfort and handling precision. Ideal for both spirited driving and daily use.

Stock rubber flex discs allow for a slight amount of give, especially under heavy acceleration and, depending on the amount of force applied, could potentially tear or split. This slight flex/give can prevent instantaneous transfer of force to the wheels, making accelerations unpredictable, or even lead to your vehicle being stuck on the side of the track. To combat this, IRP's Performance Flex Disc was developed. Made of CNC machined aluminum, this flex disc won't actually flex, and the polyurethane bushings will only provide a enough give to dampen some vibrations and prevent damaging the transmission. This is perfect for high torque applications such a drag cars and dedicated track cars that want immediate response and long term reliability.

78mm Diameter with fitment for M10 nuts/bolts.
