The MMX Front Control Arm Spherical Bushings are a motorsport-grade suspension upgrade for the BMW G8X platform — including the G80/G81 M3, G82/G83 M4, and G87 M2. Designed to replace the deflect-prone OEM rubber bushings, these precision-engineered units deliver sharper steering response, improved stability, and consistent alignment under heavy braking and hard cornering.
By eliminating flex in the front control arms, these bushings allow the suspension to operate exactly as intended, ensuring a more connected feel through the wheel and chassis. The result is enhanced turn-in sharpness, superior steering feedback, and improved tyre performance during both road and track use.
Constructed from anodised 7075 aluminium with stainless steel spacers, the bushings are built to withstand tough road conditions while maintaining long-term reliability. At the core, a high-strength spherical bearing provides lasting precision and durability far beyond standard components. To ensure safe installation, each kit includes a 3D printed press tool that protects the bearing during fitting.
