In this video we address sthe vagueness from the rear end of the BMW E46, a lot of my stability issues were coming from the rear trailing arm bushes which were absolutely knackered.
You are able to change these at home for OEM spec bushes if you have a press, but if you're fitting polybushes then it's even easier! Can be done without even removing the arm form the car if you're careful

I did this on my 330d five or six years ago now and replaced the original bushings with the same Powerflex ones you've fitted. I don't think I noticed any difference in ride quality, but cornering at higher speeds felt a bit more stable. I think I replaced mine at about 150k miles, the car is now on 207k miles and I haven't had any issues with them. Count yourself lucky as it looks like your brake lines have been replaced. I did those on mine this year and even though I cheated by not routing the new line over the fuel tank as per factory it isn't a job I want to repeat in a hurry - especially on the driveway. My suggestion would be to clean up the rusty bits on the underside, especially around the RTAB pockets, battery tray, jacking points and boot floor. That is if you plan on keeping the car for a while. It is a job I did at the same time as replacing the brake lines. I will have owned mine for ten years in January. It isn't worth much any more, but I still like driving it, even though I have an E92 335d as well.

Some good advice here thanks! I've just done the rear camber arms and ball joints, and my god it was rusty 😂 will do a rear subframe swap at some point and take care of the rust then - the car won't be sold anytime soon 👍

Underside of that thing reminds me a bit of digging up ww2 stuff.

Should do the break pipes and splice in new union ends while your there. Cheap fix.

Did you notice a difference in ride quality compared to factory bushings because most people i know say that its really hard after replacing with poly bushings

Compared to old worn OEM rubber it is stiffer unable to compared to brand new OEM bushes as I haven't driven one of those. Feel very stiff on rough UK roads, but very nice on newly surfaced roads. Not that helpful I know 😂

Remove brakes/wiring, front bushing mount, both top and bottom ball joint bolts and the driveshaft I think but never had the whole thing off

South coast, worst underside I've seen tbh far worse than my e30! Wouldn't surprise me if someone once used it to drop a jet ski into the sea at some point
