I'm looking to change my bushes so I may as well do the limiter mod whilst I'm in there. Where are people getting them from?

Search for 'BMW RTAB Limiters' on eBay and you'll find the ones from PSB (Problem Solving Bushings) for £24.90 delivered. They fit just fine and are way cheaper than Turner.

I went for Polly bushes instead and they have been perfect.

Their poly bushes seem very reasonably priced 😊

Those ones on eBay say they don’t fit the z4m ...

I’m talking about the limiters not the bush’s

Hackengenering do them ( limiters ) for £50 as well

I know. They don't need to be metal, the polyurethane works just fine so you're paying through the nose for nothing.

I was talking about the limiters too as that was the original question.

.... quick question .... do you need to fit new bush’s when fitting the limiters? Or if the original bushes are in good order ( what’s people’s thought 54k on them ) just fit the limiters ?

Thanks

I have both RTAL’s and RTAB’s (blue track spec) on order from Rogue Engineering’s supplier in the U.K.

If you look in the discount code section I posted a thread how to get them slightly cheaper.

They’re more expensive than PowerFlex which I’ve had before (& likened on my 3.0) though supposed to last even longer... which on a //M will be tested

Supposed to? Have you ever seen a powerflex rtab fail?
I've had them on my car for 7 years now, how long have you had yours?
I dont think there is a version out there that's been more thoroughly tested than the powerflex ones.
