Drivetrain Mounts and Upgrades for BMW 3 Series E46 (1999-2005)

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.

Stock mounts are made from soft rubber and are sometimes filled with fluid to give a car the most comfortable ride possible. The soft rubber and fluid helps to reduce the total amount of vibration, noise, and harshness (NVH) that is transferred into the cabin. The problem with this is driveline slop. The stock mounts allow a lot of excess movement and increases the amount of time it takes to transfer power to the wheels.

In order to address this issue, performance mounts can be substituted to reduce the amount of slop and transfer power to the wheel quicker. Two options for this are polyurethane mounts and solid mounts.

Solid mounts are great for an immediate transfer of power but allow for a ton of noise and vibration to be felt and heard in the cabin of the vehicle. This is great for the track where there aren't any issues with excess harshness, but as a daily driver, this can become an annoying pain in the neck.

The best middle ground is Polyurethane. Polyurethane is much stiffer than rubber and gives you the much stiffer feel you may be looking for. This allows for the increase in responsiveness, but isn't so extreme that it transfers all of the sound and vibrations into the cabin. This makes it much more comfortable for daily use while still reinforcing your driveline.

  • Aluminum and Polyurethane Construction
  • 80A Durometer Rating

When working on the rear subframe, replacement of any rubber bushings and mounts should be performed. This is the front differential mount bushing and it takes the majority of the torquing motion of the diff when under load. The constant twisting will cause this bushing to wear out pretty fast. This is the Original BMW rubber part.

Applications:
2001-2006 E46 M3, M3 CSL coupe and convertible
2007-up Z4 M Roadster, M Coupe

Don't neglect your motor mounts! Most stock BMW motor mounts are fluid filled and the stiffness of the mount depends on this fluid. But over time the fluid leaks out and the strength of the mount is greatly reduced. A worn motor mount allows the engine to twist and shift around. The harder you're driving the more shift will occur. As the engine is moving around it can contact other parts in the engine bay - usually cooling related. The mechanical fan can hit the radiator; the A/C compressor can hit a radiator hose, the exhaust will flex and may break. Twisting of the engine can also lead to shifting problems as the transmission twists with it. There are countless issues related to worn or compressed motor mounts so don't overlook these as a regular replacement item (every 50,000 miles).

This is the stock transmission mount for the E46 M3 (6 speed manual). As the rubber mounts wear there is more flex and twist as the engine delivers torque. This can also throw off the alignment of the shift linkage and lead to difficult shifting. If left alone the sloppiness in the driveline could lead to a mis-shift and an expensive engine rebuild. This is the Original BMW M3 transmission mount for the best quality.

Thanks to the higher engine output in the E46 M3, this mount can also be used on the non-M E36 and E46 models as an upgrade. A good mild / street upgrade if your transmission mounts are worn, but still want to maintain good ride comfort.

Sold individually, 2 needed per car.

This transmission mount fits the following BMWs:
1992-1999 E36 3 Series including 325i, 325is, 328i, 328is & 323is (5 speed manual)
1995-1999 E36 M3 (manual transmission)
1999-2005 E46 3 Series including 323i, 323Ci, 328i, 328Ci, 325i, 325Ci, 330i, 330Ci (manual transmission)
2001-2006 E46 M3 including coupe & convertible (manual transmission)

The transmission mounts from the E46 M3 are a direct fit to the other E46 and E36 models. Thanks to the higher engine output of the E46 M3 this makes the transmission mount a good street upgrade. These mounts are a little stiffer than the stock E36/E46 transmission mount so the tranny will resist twisting better. The twisting motions can affect the shifter linkage and make shifting more difficult and not as precise. A mis-shift in an E36 or E46 can lead to a very expensive engine rebuild!

Sold as a pair.

This transmission mount fits the following BMWs:

1992-1999 E36 3 Series including 325i, 325is, 328i, 328is & 323is (5 speed manual)

BMW does not sell the differential mounts separate from the cover. And as with all rubber mounts, they will have to be replaced at some point, forcing you to also buy a new diff cover. This is an Original BMW part.
**Note** - a paper gasket is not sold with this cover. BMW no longer uses paper gaskets - they advise the use of a silicone sealant such as RTV black.

Applications:
2001-2006 E46 M3, M3 CSL, coupe and convertible

If your transfer case bushing is old, hardened, or cracked, it can lead to excess noise and vibration. Worn out mounts can also cause damage to other driveline mounts over time if not addressed. Replace your transfer case mount with this new mount to eliminate noise and vibration and prevent further wear and tear.

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.

These aluminum mounts are a direct replacement for the stock rubber bushings and have been lightened to remove excess weight. Using aluminum instead of rubber eliminates the "wind up" inherent in rubber mounts, and this deflection slows suspension & drivetrain response. The tradeoff is an increase in NVH. Features: Stiffens chassis/Improves stability Less wear of other components Better durability Provides better control of chassis geometry Replaces OE: 33172282484 Recommended for racing use only Includes: 2 rear aluminum bushing 1 front aluminum bushings
