Powerflex PFR5-4030 Twin-Bush Final Drive Support for BMW F80 F82 F83 F87
Unlock sharper traction and rear-end confidence on your F8x with the Powerflex PFR5-4030 twin-mount final drive support. This precision CNC-machined 6082 high tensile aluminium brace makes use of the unused second fixing point on the factory rear carrier, stabilising the final drive under load for cleaner launches, reduced axle tramp and crisper throttle pick-up. Perfect for fast road, track days and tuned builds looking for dependable drivetrain control.
Key reasons enthusiasts choose this rear-end upgrade
- Dual fixing design limits differential rotation under torque for consistent power delivery
- Noticeably tighter, more predictable rear axle behaviour on and off throttle
- Improves traction - helps cut wheel hop and axle tramp when accelerating hard
- Reduces stress on existing bushes, aiding longevity of surrounding mounts
- Satin black anodised finish for corrosion resistance and durability
- Engineered to cope with high torque applications and spirited driving
How it works
The F8x rear subframe is cast with provision for two rear final drive bushes, yet the factory installs only one. That single, offset bush becomes a pivot point that lets the unit twist when you apply torque, made worse as front bushes age. The PFR5-4030 adds the second attachment point, effectively bracing the assembly and keeping the final drive planted so your tyres put power down more effectively.
Proven on our cars and our customers’ builds
We have fitted this Powerflex support on our own F8x projects and many customer vehicles. Feedback is consistently positive - tighter rear-end control, calmer launches and more confidence driving out of bends. It is a high-impact, low-compromise modification that complements anything from a stock car to a tuned track setup.
Pair it with complementary mounts for the ultimate solution
- PFR5-4026 - rear mounting bushes for both rear subframe positions
- PFR5-4025 - front mounting bushes for the final drive
Combine these with PFR5-4030 to minimise movement across every fixing point.
