MINI Cooper R50/R52/R53 Including S - Billet Lower Engine Mount - Performance offers a significant upgrade in engine mount performance, designed to enhance power transfer and vehicle handling. The Performance version combines the durability of Purple 80A and Black 95A materials, providing a 200% increase in stiffness over the original equipment (OE) mount. This upgrade is ideal for more extensively tuned MINI Coopers or those used in mild track conditions.

• Enhanced Stiffness: Provides a 200% increase in stiffness over OE mounts for improved vehicle response and handling.
• Durable Construction: Utilizes Purple 80A and Black 95A materials for superior durability and performance.
• Reduced Wheel Hop: Minimizes wheel hop for a more direct power transfer to the road.
• Ideal for Tuned Vehicles: Suitable for extensively tuned MINIs or those used in moderate track environments.
• Minimal NVH Increase: Offers a moderate increase in noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), mainly at idle, compared to OE mounts.

MINI R50 to R53 Performance Polyurethane Gearbox Bushing Set is designed to enhance engine stability and performance by reducing unnecessary movement. Unlike OEM rubber bushings, which prioritize comfort over function, these Powerflex polyurethane bushings offer increased firmness and durability. This set minimizes engine and transmission movement, ensuring more precise and controlled driving dynamics. Powerflex, Europe's leading manufacturer of suspension bushings, uses advanced polyurethane material and precision manufacturing to create bushings that outperform and outlast factory options. Ideal for both daily driving and occasional track use, these bushings contribute to a more engaging driving experience. For optimal performance, it is recommended to use Powerflex Copper Grease PCG1 during installation and to periodically reapply it to maintain a squeak-free operation.

• Enhanced Stability: Reduces engine and transmission movement for better control.
• Improved Performance: Firmer than OEM rubber bushings, offering a more engaging driving experience.
• Durable Construction: Powerflex's advanced polyurethane material ensures longevity and reliability.
• Precision Engineering: Exact-fit standards for superior performance.
• Versatile Use: Suitable for street driving with occasional track time; for dedicated track cars, consider Powerflex Black Series bushings.
• Lifetime Warranty: Offered by Powerflex to the original purchaser.

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).
