Urethane engine/tranny mounts in E30

[Garageaholic]

Does anybody know where I can get a set of both the engine and tranny mounts for My e30?

I was going to order some from IE, but I was told that they are pretty bad quality, Does anybody know anywhere else to get them??

Thanx

[Mike]

I love my ie's....

my urethane tranny mounts from IE are fine

[madjurgen]

wonderful internet hearsay

IE motor mounts are great, the tranny ones are a bit fuhraze and made my car sound like it was a fully stripped race car with a prepped v10 in the front.

ummm, noise, harshness, vibration. you could have googled that acronym is less time than waiting for a reply....

and possibly you could order the Bimmerworld upgraded tranny mounts.....from BIMMERWORLD @ http://www.bimmerworld.com


seriously, did you just make the most helpless post ever?

there is a review of the IE bushings in the "review" section, I think Jordan reviewed them. Never heard of them being crap. Another website to look at (no experience) is bmwbushings.com

Just out of curiosity, why would someone want urethane engine mounts? Aren't engine mounts supposed to quell NVH from getting into the cabin? And won't urethane suck at that? If doing this for reasons of strength, wouldn't getting aluminum holders for rubber mounts do a better job of it all?

ummmmm

urethane is strong.

e30 motor mounts like to fall apart at the track, or just in general. achilles heel specifically on track

NVH isn't really that increased by the motor mounts. tranny mounts are the significant influence

Well, the mounts are there to absorb NVH, true. The purpose of urethane/solid mounts is to make sure that maximum torque is delivered to the drivetrain, rather than being absorbed by the soft rubber mountings of the engine and transmission.

I guess urethane is just a middle man between rubber and solid aluminum.
