Unlike other aftermarket mounts, the mounting plate and studs of our mounts have been Zinc-plated to prevent corrosion. Rogue Engineering Transmission Mounts are sold as a pair, and come with Grade 8 Zinc plated hardware. Rogue Engineering transmission mounts are designed with street comfort in mind while still reducing left and right movement of the transmission. By using a cylindrical shape instead of the factory hourglass like design and utilizing Neoprene rubber deflection can be significantly reduced, minimizing unwanted transmission movement while maintaining vibration dampening characteristics.

You are looking at the BEST license plate bracket for your BMW, price no object! We never understood why BMW would put a cheap, plastic bracket on the back of a BMW to hold a license plate. The screws holding the bracket on would rust, the steel inserts hold the plate on would also rust, causing the hardware holding the plate on to seize or just no longer function. Our bracket fits any BMW that mounts license plates in the rear that use factory part number 51-18-8-238-061. Fits most BMWs produced AFTER 1999. If your vehicle does not use the plastic plate, it will not fit. Does not fit E46 touring (wagon). PROBLEMS with the factory bracket and hardware The screws that secure the plastic bracket are plated steel and will corrode over time. These two screw would normally not be seen since it is under the license plate, but it is holding the bracket onto the trunk. The four (4) nutserts that are pressed into the plastic frame (to hold the license plate) are also steel and will eventually seize with the bolt and just spin in the plastic frame becoming useless. The plastic frame itself is flimsy, doing a near minimal task of holding on the license plate. The hardware securing the plate to the bracket will rust, seizing to the nutsert or even spinning in place becoming completely useless. SOLUTION Create a more robust bracket that would not only be stiffer but also more corrosion resistant; CNC’d aluminum with an anodized finish. We machine a near identical plate, matching factory dimensions, from 1/2" plate of aluminum. Instead of nutserts pressed into plastic, map the correct position and machine the threads for the hardware directly into the plate. The hardware used to secure the new bracket to the trunk would be made from stainless steel (or optional corrosion-proof titanium) The hardware used to secure the license plate to the newly engineered bracket would also be stainless steel (or optional made from titanium) Kit Includes: One (1) Rogue Engineering designed and manufactured CNC'd aluminum license plate bracket Two (2) Stainless screws to secure bracket to trunk. Four (4) stainless screws to secure license plate to bracket.

Few sounds can summon goosebumps quite like the S62 V8 found in the E39 M5 with a well designed exhaust system. Rogue Engineering is proud to introduce the E39 M5 Diablo Exhaust. The heavy factory resonator (21 lbs. by itself) primary job is to muffle sound and eliminate exhaust "drone". It does such a great job, much of the exhaust sound is killed by this resonator by itself. The factory mufflers do a fantastic job of completely muffling sound in the E39 M5. So well that the only way you can really hear the vehicle is to completely roll down all the windows to really hear the V8 exhaust sound. Between the factory resonator and the two rear mufflers, these components weigh a staggering 98 lbs. All Rogue Engineering Diablo exhausts are produced using only 100% full T-304 stainless steel because of its consistent strength characteristics, corrosion resistance, and wide range of materials (important for controlling sound and exhaust flow). Features: New, lighter muffler body reduces weight to only 19.4 lbs. per side. 100% T-304 stainless steel construction and internals, a majority of the exhaust made from 16 gauge stainless steel. Exclusive, oversize 3" OD inlet tubing (stock and most other aftermarket companies have 2.5" OD) for maximum exhaust flow. Fully mandrel bent tubing, no crimps or flattened areas. Mil-finished pipes and muffler, mirror polished, Rogue Engineering Club Sport double walled, stainless steel quad 80mm, staggered tips. Completely fills in factory valence without modifications. Full TIG welded construction, no lock seams or pinch welds. Factory-like hangers for OEM fit Rogue Engineering logo tastefully stamped in the body of the muffler Flow-through design does not create muffler "hot spots" found on chambered mufflers Optimized tubing sizes and minimized bends maintain exhaust velocity without compromising necessary backpressure Deep, throaty tone, without the drone.
