We know how weak the original engine mounts are. When they wear, you start to hear clunking noises and movements under the hood when accelerating or even decelerating. An engine mount dampens vibrations and keeps the engine in place. A blown engine mount can break other drivetrain components, such as the transmission mounts or even fan blades, expansion tanks, coolant hoses and other parts much quicker. On the E36 and E46, they are known to dent the hood, from jumping up as the engine powers in a clocking rotation. The engine mount located on the driver side usually fails first. That is, again, caused by the engine turning in a clocking rotation. Do I need solid engine mounts?If you're road racing or drifting, yes. The original rubber mounts will give up, again and again. There's no way around it. They were designed to drive in traffic, not to last under hardcore driving. We strongly recommend upgrading to solid engine mounts for reliability and performance. While rubber mounts damp and absorb power for comfort, solid ones transfer the engine power directly to the rear wheels. How is this kit different from the others?Other kits have their fastener pressed directly in the material, it leads to a bad tightening. Our unique design provides a strong compression in the mount, even if the mount is under tension. Taking the fastener anchor point from the opposite side of the mount makes this a game changer. Not only does this make it a lot stronger than any other Delrin mount on the market, it also enables the mount to be modular. Why Delrin?Many other manufacturers choose Aluminum or Polyurethane as their material. As per aluminum, the increase of noise and vibrations is unbearable. The Delrin assembly is much lighter than aluminum. Delrin is just as solid, while dampening better. The mounts we manufacture can be daily driven with ease. Polyurethane is known for their inferior heat resistance. Like the rubber mounts, they will eventually shear or fragment into pieces. What's modular? Our engine mounts are built in layers. There's a 5mm plate assembled in the engine mount. If you want, you can disassemble your mount and remove that plate. The engine will sit 5mm closer to the ground, correcting the gravity point. That's benifical for any track car. You can also add to your order our optional engine mount spacers. This kit is specifically suited for rally racing or extremely lowered cars. It will keep you safe from breaking oil pans. Again, disassemble your mount, replace the 5mm plate with the supplied 25mm blocks and your engine is now raised by 20mm. What’s included?We provide two Delrin solid engine mounts, with all four zinc serrated hex flange nuts. You do not need to source anything else, all is in there.We offer a lifetime warranty on this product when it is paired with our solid transmission mounts. Do they fit my car?This kit fits:All BMW E36All BMW E46 in RWD. Installation Note for Low Boy Configuration (raised) E36:The fan shroud will need to be modified slightly to make clearance for the fan position moving up.May need to trim the lower radiator hose .5" to clear the AC belt.The Vanos cover could make contact with the hood on 98 328is.E46:The engine hook on top of the motor needs to be removedThe fan shroud will need to be raised by 1 inch.
