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).
The VTT Billet Solid Engine Mounts are the ultimate solution for G8X owners looking to extract every ounce of performance from their S58-powered machines.
These Stage 1 mounts provide the structural rigidity needed to handle increased boost levels and higher torque loads while dampening the vibrations typical of the BMW straight-six.
By upgrading to a solid-core poly design, you eliminate the risk of fluid-filled mount failure while gaining a significantly more stable drivetrain platform.
This kit is a "must-have" for any E36, E46, or E9X owner looking to tighten up their drivetrain's foundation and ensure long-term mechanical reliability.
