Drivetrain Mounts and Upgrades

If allowed in the rules these solid aluminum engine and transmission mounts offer many advantages over a urethane or Delrin mounts. It's no wonder that these mounts have found their way into the top BMW racers in the country. These are machined from solid aluminum and have zero deflection, engine torque will cause a rubber or urethane mount to flex or deflect allowing more torque to passed through the drive line (instead of being wasted winding up the mount). When paired with our flex-free solid transmission mounts you'll get smoother, crisper shifts since the transmission is no longer dancing on the pliable mount. This puts the shift linkages in better consistent alignment. And unlike rubber or urethane the aluminum has zero wear and is not affected by leaking oil or other fluids so this is likely the last set of motor and transmission mounts you will ever need. We very strongly recommend using the solid transmission and engine mounts together as a complete kit, mixing a rubber mount with a metal mount will cause undue stress on the mounting points and will lead to a failure. We never advise using a solid engine mount unless a corresponding solid transmission mount is also used.

These are a no-compromise design for all-out racing use, full solid aluminum mounts should not be used on street-driven cars since there is no material to absorb vibration making these quite harsh for regular street use (track cars don't care about noise).

Product features and benefits:

• Crisper throttle response, positive shifter location, direct power transfer
• Precision machined billet 6061-T6 aluminum housing
• Black anodized for durability and corrosion resistance
• Grade 10.9 stud - fear not, big turbo owners
• Engineered in-house and made in America

Put an end to drivetrain flex and destructive wheel hop. The S58 engine is an absolute torque monster, especially once you start tuning and turning up the boost. While aggressive launches and heavy acceleration are the best parts of owning these vehicles, the factory rear differential mounting wasn't designed to handle that kind of abuse.

The OEM soft rubber bushing allows excessive differential twist and flex under load. This deflection transfers massive, uneven force directly to the factory mounting bolt, leading to bending or catastrophic snapping. Our upgrade replaces that weak link, locking down your drivetrain to ensure every bit of horsepower reaches the pavement safely.

Features and Benefits:

95A Poly Isolator replacing the hollow, compliant stock rubber
Upgraded grade 12.9 M14x1.5 fastener to replace the factory 10.9 bolt that is prone to snapping
No noticeable compromise in ride quality and NVH that comes with a solid mount counterpart
Design:

95A Turner Blue Polyurethane isolator
6061-T6 Black anodized aluminum bushing sleeve
Optimized Sleeve and bushing press-fit, developed with years of Polyurethane subframe and differential bushing design
Zinc Yellow-Chromate plated Grade 12.9 Hardware
Two-piece sleeve design for ease of installation
Product Development:

Our F97/F98 differential mount was designed, engineered, tested, and quality-inspected by our Research and Development team at our Wadsworth, Ohio, facility. We strive for the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology, including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modelling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long-term product testing.
