Engine & trans mounts

Steeler · 06-23-2014, 05:57 PM

Looking to gather all the parts to refresh the suspension and replace the engine and trans mounts during the winter.

I came across these on EBay and seem a decent deal.http://www.ebay.com/itm/MEGAN-4pc-Ra...2a31d0&vxp=mtr
My question would be would they fit my 3.0

Realoem lists the same mounts for E46 and the 3.0 E85 and ECS Tuning has the M3 mounts as an upgrade to the standard E46 mounts

So stands to sense that these should fit

Any thoughts or suggestions for an alternative.

I've got Vibra-Technics and RE Transmission mounts in my M Coupe and love them. If they fit a 3.0 might be a good upgrade to match your supercharger.

I'm with BNJ - I also refreshed mine with Vibra-Technics and Rogue Engineering trans mounts. HUGE upgrade IMHO, with almost zero NVH penalty. Highly recommended if they're available for your 3.0.

For those of you with the vibra-technics engine mounts, did they take a while to come in?

bignosejim · 07-01-2014, 08:04 AM

I got mine in 2 or 3 days. Pretty impressive considering they came from England.

GuidoK · 07-01-2014, 08:12 AM

I think they will fit.
Looks like it's this kit:

E46 and z4 mounts are the same.

Not expensive for a full set of new mounts compared to a combined set of Vibra technics/rogue engineering, that's way more than twice the price.

elerner61 · 07-01-2014, 09:40 AM

Could someone describe the improvements they experienced over the stock engine and transmission mounts?

Steeler · 07-01-2014, 11:08 AM

Thanks for the replies everyone

Seemed a real good price and my thoughts exactly GuidoK half the costs of the VT & RE

I ordered mine about a week ago but got no indication of movement/status since I got the order confirmation e-mail. I e-mailed them after I saw your response and they got me a tracking # right away. Shipped earlier today and will be here tomorrow (and I'm CONUS)!

I don't like the "race version" description of those other mounts. The VT mounts I'm using are the "fast street" version, and they're plenty stout without removing my fillings or turning the cabin into a buzz box. "Race" sounds ominous.

GuidoK · 07-02-2014, 02:20 AM

^megan racing also has 'street versions' rated at 70a durometer:
http://www.meganracing.com/product_d...=1326&catid=93

So in that way comparable to the VT lineup.

jdoublehcubed · 07-06-2014, 09:08 PM

so has anyone actually used?

as mentioned, the price is reaaaaalllllyyyyy good.

Steeler · 07-07-2014, 05:23 AM

I will report
