Hello everybody. I'm a newbie on this forum. I'm French and currently use a 325is turbo. My silent blocs need to be replaced.

What reinforced silent bloc could I fit? I heard about 635 silent bloc…
I would like to be sure before ordering from BMW.

I need the parts urgently (the order would be on Monday).

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I found this on internet :

engine rubber mount from 5/6 trhu 82 3.0 3.3
Ref part number : 11 81 1 132 322
You do have to grind off 1 small alignment nub but otherwise they fit and work fine.

This seem to be harder than the OEM 325i ones.

Any feedback?

You could use the solid engine mounts I've seen on the PPF forum, it would be a harsh way of doing it but would and does work. I doubt any rubber bush will take that much abuse, maybe a poly bush is available, never looked myself.

I've sheared a set of stock engine bushes already although they were old, the stock new ones seem ok for now.

As always we demand some pics frenchman :D
