Rear Bushings or lsd?

Hello! I have a 2010 335xi e90 n54, fbo with rb turbos. About 500whp.

Heres my question, as i dont plan to throw money into getting an lsd, is getting upgraded rear diff&subframe bushings (probably 75k akg bushings) worth it for getting more traction with awd?

I have one very squeeky bushing in my rear end and I suspect it to be a good time to upgrade...

Yes definitely worth doing rear subframe and diff bushings. I used the Turner aluminum bushings which made a huge difference in traction and overall handling!!NVH is really not as bad as I expected.

Install of the subframe bushing was a real bitch but I used Turner solid aluminum. There are other options that won't require the subframe removal.

While at it, don't forget, transmission mounts, engine mounts, and guibo aka flex disc.
