engine fell out!!??

[carlrst]

anyone know were to get uprated engine mounts for 325i, as my engine moved 6 inches to the left and ripped through them.

[ProperOldschool]

whoa shit boy! Was that whilst driving or something?

[carlrst]

yeah going sideways, and it ripped all the coolant hoses off, and to strap it down and drive 100 miles to get home, not fun lol

[don-king]

try your local breakers or PM Spadge or Shaz325isport and some other members who may be close to you. One of them should help you out

[carlrst]

yeah will do

would that one from burton fit

[JimmyC]

yes they do

[carlrst]

kool cheers will get ordering

[Ziggy]

Just out of interest, what makes you think you need uprated ones? Wasn't probably the best part of 20 years service from the last set sufficient?

[carlrst]

just thought if i gotta replace them might as well put better ones in

[JimmyC]

uprated burton ones are cheaper than BMW ones ;)

There's a guy on trampdrfift who makes polyeurethane ones for about £5 a set that are good if you like a bit of "tail out" action without the worry of stuffing your fan through your radiator

I did the same thing but was lucky enough not to throw the engine right off the mounts... the auto box ( ) held it in place!!!! Wondered why i couldn't get it into drive!!! lol

[town325i]

genuine ones are the way forward imo ive got a new set on my touring 10k old now and they still look like new

[Rav335uk]

Those poly ones are known to split

New BMW ones now come with a steel cup around them, to stop the rubber block from excess sideways movement.
