Why polyurethane here

Factory rubber softens, cracks and allows the rear cradle to wander which leads to vague handling and uneven tyre wear. These uprated mounts maintain the axle carrier position so your alignment stays true during acceleration, braking and cornering. The result is a taut, predictable 3 Series with better feedback and confidence.
