Drivetrain Mounts and Upgrades for BMW 3 Series E36 (1992-1998)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

From the factory, engine and transmission mounts are rubber and thus a wear component. Worn out engine or transmission mounts create sloppiness and a disconnect between the driver and your BMW's powerplant. If your vehicle is purpose built for the track, we recommend solid engine and transmission mounts. These have zero deflection, but come at the expense of added NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness). Poly engine and transmission mounts offer a good balance between OEM rubber and solid mounts for those with mixed purpose vehicles, offering great performance and connection with little sacrifice in terms of NVH.

ECS Tuning's Polyurethane Transmission Mounts are designed to address the vital role of transmission mounts in your vehicle's suspension. The factory mounts are notorious for failures that can result in over-revving, mis-shifts, and in extreme cases, potential chassis damage. Our polyurethane mounts provide a robust solution, engineered for both street and track applications, guaranteeing enhanced performance while eliminating concerns about torn mounts.

Polyurethane stands out with its exceptional toughness, durability, and impressive wear resistance compared to rubber. It also exhibits resistance to water, oil, and grease while retaining its original shape even when subjected to significant compression. By reducing deflection, polyurethane facilitates effective power transfer. While there may be a slight increase in NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness), the benefits far outweigh this minor compromise in ride comfort. With a polyurethane durometer of 70A, our street mounts are versatile, offering both daily driving comfort and track durability. For more track-oriented enthusiasts, we provide stiffer mounts with an 80A durometer rating.

For a hassle-free installation, we supply a comprehensive DIY guide. ECS Tuning ensures that you are fully supported from start to finish.

As your E30 ages, the rear differential bushing can crack, dry rot, and split. It's time for an upgrade. The ECS Tuning Heavy Duty Differential Bushing is crafted with performance in mind. Instead of using polyurethane, which is known for increasing NVH, the enthusiasts at ECS chose HD 70D rubber. This material offers a close-to-factory feel without the excess deflection of softer bushings, ensuring a pleasurable driving experience free from differential whine and excess movement.

Features & Benefits:

Eliminates Weak OEM Mount: The aging E30 chassis deserves an upgrade. Replace your old, cracked, and worn factory bushing with this HD alternative for improved performance. Perfect for Street or Track: Constructed from HD rubber instead of polyurethane or Delrin, this bushing provides comfort for daily driving while remaining effective in performance applications. Added Responsiveness: The 70D HD rubber compound is stiffer than the stock material, reducing drivetrain movement and effectively locking down your rear differential. Easy Installation: Precision-manufactured to the exact specifications of your OEM differential bushing, the ECS heavy-duty replacement installs just like the factory component. Whether you are replacing an aging factory bushing, removing excess driveline movement, or balancing performance and comfort, ECS Tuning has you covered with their Heavy Duty Rear Differential Bushing.

Condor Speed Shop took the hard work out of removing and reinstalling your differential! If you've ever taken out your diff, you know how much of a pain it is to get the bolt holes to line up during re-installation. They never seem to line up perfectly, and getting the bolts to go in can be time-consuming. Condor's diff studs are designed to make your life a little easier. The diff will line up and lift right into the holes every time. 38mm studs are used with OEM or regular subframe bushings. 45mm studs are used with the 12mm riser subframe bushings. You'll need to pull the driveshaft to drop the diff. Use thread locker during install. Recommended for street or race use. Kit includes: 4 Studs 4 Washers 4 Lock Nuts

Your E36's rear differential is indirectly connected to your right foot through the engine and driveline, and connected to the seat of your pants through the chassis. Soft factory rubber differential bushings absorb vibrations between chassis and differential, providing comfort and softness in both of these connections. ECS Tuning's In-House Engineered Performance Polyurethane Differential Bushing eliminate deflection permitted by factory bushings, improving the connection you feel to your differential. Removal of this slop allows for crisper power transfer from differential to wheels, which means better throttle control while carving a canyon road, drag racing, sliding the rear end out, or just driving to work. This is achieved without the harshness or vibration associated with delrin or solid differential mounts. Featuring a tough 88A durometer polyurethane and Black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum Sleeve, our Performance Polyurethane Differential Bushings are more resistant to chemicals, ozone degradation, road salt, and general wear and tear than factory rubber bushings, resulting in a longer service life.

Eliminate power-robbing rear-end flex and upgrade your E36’s dynamic handling with the Turner Motorsport Track-Spec Differential Bushing Package. On the track or aggressive backroads, factory rubber differential mounts distort heavily under load, delaying throttle response and compromising rear alignment geometry. This complete package locks down the front and rear differential mounting locations, routing torque directly from your right foot to the pavement for maximum acceleration and predictable corner exit.

Engineered for drivers who demand race-bred chassis feedback without the unrefined harshness of solid metal mounts, this package equips your E36 with a heavy-duty polyurethane upgrade. Up front, a stiff 95A polyurethane bushing is anchored by a high-strength M14x1.5 Grade 12.9 bolt, overcoming the notoriously weak factory M12 bolt setup to survive high-RPM launches and severe track abuse. Out back, 88A polyurethane rear bushings stabilize axle load shifts to keep the rear end planted through turn-in and high-G cornering. Lightweight, black-anodized 6061-T6 aluminum inner sleeves deliver structural integrity in severe racing environments.

Condor's Engine Mount Heat Sleeves reflect up to 90 percent of radiant heat. They withstand 1,100 degrees F of radiant heat and up to 450 degrees F of direct heat. The extra protection of the heat sleeves is a perfect fit for street cars, track cars, and other high heat applications. Their mounts withstand temperatures up to 180 degrees F and do not need any heat protection during regular usage, but we recommend the extra protection of their sleeves for all vehicles with high underhood heat temperatures such as turbo and supercharged vehicles. Condor heat sleeves can be easily installed by simply slipping the sleeve around the engine mount and securing using the Velcro tabs. *LISTING IS FOR ONE HEAT SHIELD **Heat sleeve fitment is for Condor Engine Mounts only.
