Want to see if there is a clear result on which bushings increase NVH the most.
I've replaced the rear diff bushing (the big one) with a Powerflex polyutherane bushing on my 335i 6AT. There IS a slight increase in NVH. Gear whine is transmitted into the cabin, notably in the 3k rpm range. It's really not bad but definitely noticeable. So I suspect you would experience similar things on the M3.

Looking forward to the updates after the subframe bushings installations
