    E34 535i center support bearing

    Is this a direct swap for our driveshafts?

    I heard it was an "upgrade" with thicker rubber.

    Yes, it fits, and it is an upgrade.
    It is noticeably beefier.
    I have one on my 735 and 528e.

    I like to ask before. I looked at a spare e23 one I had and the rubber looks iffy even though it is unused.

    The previous owner of one of my e23's ripped the rubber out of a new OE mount in a few hundred miles (turbo, stick car) so this is good to know.

    I have an E23 version Lemforder replacement. The rubber looks thin and flexes too easy for my liking. I'm sure the alternative brands aren't going to be any better.
