Motor Mounts

Boosted_N54 · 05-08-2015, 12:29 AM

are there any upgraded Motor Mounts for the 135i?

chris82 · 05-08-2015, 08:09 AM

How stiff are you talking? I think the 335is has stiffer mounts than the rest, might want to check those out

Kgolf31 · 05-08-2015, 08:45 AM

I've been eyeing up AKG motor mounts.

dcaron9999 · 05-08-2015, 09:35 AM

Just curious, what behavoir or expected benefit are you guys after with the stiffer engine mounts?

I did the tranny mounts on my 135i (replaced to E46/M3 OE mounts) to remove the gear hunt (transmission and shifter mis-alignment under load). I assume the stiffer engine mounts would help further ...

Black Forrest Industries are making reinforced poly mounts. Ask them their progress

I have Black Forest hybrid mounts which are essentially vibratechnic copies. I also have turner delrin tranny mounts and solid diff and subframe. The diff bushings induce the most vibration and noise. The motor and tranny bushings are very tolerable.

I read somewhere the e46 work for us and not the e90? Not sure though.

Nice to know the nvh is tolerable! Is the shifting better? I know your car has way more mods so hard to isolate the motor mount upgrade though.

e46 m3 mounts work. these Vibra mounts come with a e46 M3 specific base. That is why I said they wont work.

Motor mounts plus transmission mounts and a rogue SSK made my shifting extremely direct. I now have a cae shifter and it is about as good as it gets

what did you do with your rogue SSK now that you installed the CAE ?

Yes. They induce substantial NVH on a cold motor and even moreso if it's under 50 degrees give or take. Once the car has some heat in it, you don't really notice it. In my case a solid passenger side was reqd. for the turbo swap, so I just decided to swap the drivers' side while we were at it.

Do you have the proper part # for the rogue SSK, as nothing is listed on their site for the E8x chassis. Did it come with the weighted rod - I know some models dont...

Thanks.

My car has an e9x transmission and has the e9x rogue ssk.

Rogue makes a 1m SSK which fits n55 135i's. (1m had an n54 w/ n55 tranny)

Just for my personal knowledge: you have to completely swap out your motor to replace these bushings, right ?
