Any recommended upgraded motor mounts?
Dropping the engine this weekend and figured I'd upgrade the motor mounts too while I'm at it. Any recommendations? A quick google search showed an AKG one, but never heard of them.

Do you actually track or race the car? Do you want the extra NVH? My suggestions is just to replace it with new oem ones and call it a day. Car is stiff enough!
Why are you taking the engine out? |

Will only be a couple track days a year at most.. Just major events. I guess OEM it is!

AKG makes quality stuff. I have almost all of the AKG parts on my E92. Thing drives like it’s on rails.

Old thread but I need new mounts as mine are probably cracked/worn out with 115k on them (feeling a lot of vibration, especially with fan on or AC on). Do you know who stocks these? AKG seems to be sold out.

https://www.powerflexusa.com/shop/pr...1787#attr=2632 I just did this combination on the F8X and there is some slight vibration at VERY slow speeds at start-up (1-2 mph) but goes away completely once you are on the road. The inserts should add durability to the stock mounts since it will reduce movement overall. I would not go with anything harsher/harder for motor mounts since they will rattle your brain out if you go with something harder than stock.

I’ve done solid bushings everywhere else but engine mounts are the one thing I really didn’t want to “upgrade” in full over stock. Engine vibration is probably the most irritating out of everything because it rattles every single darn panel in the car. I’ve done full upgraded motor mounts before and never again lol… even the inserts were irritating at first but at least I only feel it on cold start. On my other car with full motor mounts, it rattles like hell every time you sit at a red light and it’s even worse when you turn on the AC.

Yeah I am in the same boat. The idler is bouncing all over the place. Seems like an easy job that requires little dismantling, too. From what I've YouTube'd it just consists of removing the intake pipe and carbon brace...do it in my sleep at this point.. I just ordered a new tensioner, idler pulley, other idler pulley, and both the bolts (since they seem to be microencapsullated). Will install when they arrive and see if that fixes things. Belts are new so I'm just going to re-use them. Thanks!
