went to replace the rear arb bushes on my m42 IS thought they were 12mm ?

look like there 14 to me so does this mean someone has changed the rear arb or just put any old one on from factory

also got some engine mounts but there square? mine look round to me looking down on the engine??

That engine mount is for a 316i/318i M40 engine. The M42 iS engine uses a sophisticated liquid damped engine mount, rather than the primitive block of rubber in your pic.
