All E36 designated models from 1992-1999 share the same type of differential mounting excpet for the 318Ti and the Z3s. The E36 M3 from 1995-1999 also uses this same configuration. The front mounting of the differential utilizies only a single bolt design that breaks very easily under any extreme driving conditions. Some bent or broken bolts can be extracted, if not, then removal of the differential to extract the broken bolt becomes necessary. It becomes very expensive to rectify.

Now you can feel assured that this brace will create that "peace of mind." If you ever had the misfortune of breaking the main differential bolt and had to remove the differential to extract the broken bolt, you know what I am talking about. Approximate cost to R&R a differential then removing a broken bolt can be around £700.

Best of all, this DSB is truly a a DIY project that is easy to install without requiring removal of any major components or the useage of any special tools.

1. Address breaking of the front differential bolt.
2. Make it a true bolt on system that is available in a "DIY kit" form.
3. Constructed from HEAVY Gauge steel to eliminate future undue stress and warping.
4. Precision machining and alignment assures a precise install.
5. A BMW supplied front diff bolt included in kit.
6. NO need for special tools.
7. Step by step instructions makes for a easy install.
8. Gentle on the driveline for additional support.
9. Keep it affordably priced.
10. Ability to give that additional assurance and comfort.

Fits: E36 325i, 328i & M3.

Finally, a real performance engine mount for those looking for the extra edge. Until now, the only performance engine mount to really consider was the BMW Motorsport Group N engine mounts priced at an incredible $800/pair! These uber expensive mounts were just like factory engine mounts except they were produced with a harder rubber, approximately 30% stiff than stock.

The Rogue Engineering Performance Engine mount is a affordable alternative to the BMW Motorsport Group N mounts, at a fraction of the price. Because these are produced with isolated mounting plates, it does offer similar vibration dampening characteristics like stock. Of course, because of the harder nature of these bushings, some additional vibration may be experienced, just like the BMW Motorsport Group N engine mounts.

Just like factory, but better
The factory-like design incorporates the anti-rotational tabs ensuring that the mounts do not rotate. Use of these mounts virtually eliminates all deflection created from the engine. This is especially true for high-powered vehicles such as those with turbos or superchargers.

The internals of the mount feature a unique locking system in the event of a crash, the internal hardware of the mounts prevent complete failure of the mount. Whereas the integrity of the mount will be compromised, its internal construction prevents the mounts upper and lower plates from completely tearing away from each other. Whereas this may seem to be a small feature, this will ultimately decrease the chances of the engine from breaching the firewall, and entering the internal compartment of the vehicle. No other performance mount can make this claim.

Additional Features
While these mounts are produced in limited quantities here in the US, we have also built these engine mounts to be 5mm shorter than stock, to allow for lower engine mounting height (lowering the center of gravity). Matching performance transmission mounts are also available with purchase. The mounts include 5mm spacers, in the event the user would like to maintain the factory engine mounting position.

Fits the following vehicles:
All 1992-1999 E36 M3, 328, 325, 323, 318
All 1999-2006 E46 M3, 330, 328, 325, 323
All Z4
All Z3

Made from best quality PU materials, these engine mounts are available for all 6 cylinder E36/46 /Z3 / Z4and rellated M models.

25% stiffer than factory mounts, suitable for road and track use, without the harshness of full race mounts .

Specially shaped for best performance and installion ease.

Benefits:

- More torque to the rear wheels (a portion of an engine's torque is used in lifting it's own weight againast the mounts, so the stiffer the mount the less lifting and the more torque to the wheels)
- Smoother gearshifts with less missed gears.
- Less engine movement under hard acceleration / braking

For race use only.

If you want to prevent torque loss and are tired of the missed shifts and issues related to soggy, failure-prone mounts, then solid mounts are the solution.

Solid Engine & Transmission Mounts eliminate all flexing and mount failures that can occur due to movement in your drivetrain. Many failures happen because Mounts are not "bolt though type". Our mounts are basically indestructible and have been used on 4-digit horsepower cars for the ultimate in torture test proven reliability.

Solid mounts also give increased rear wheel torque (a portion of the engine's torque output is used in lifting the engine / gearbox against the OE type rubber mounts)

All mounts are beautifully machined from 6061 T6 billet aluminum in the USA.

What is a transmission mount?

The transmission mounts in a BMW are a common part that is frequently overlooked.

The transmission mount is designed to do the following:

Help stabilize the transmission under vehicle load allowing the shifter to engage into gear properly.
Isolate vibration from the drivetrain to the chassis.

Under engine load, the transmission can wiggle left and right slightly, worse when the car is being driven hard into turns. This unwanted movement may potentially causing the driver to miss shift. When we sought to have our own transmission mounts produced, we wanted them to be compliant for street use, with no compromises in performance.

What we have is a transmission mount made from Neoprene rubber, with a completely different shape than the factory mount. The hourglass shape of the factory mount is not the best for stabilizing the transmission. By changing the shape to the cylindrical shape of the Rogue Engineering mount, it reduces deflection significantly, while maintaining damping.

The Rogue Transmission Mounts are sold as a pair, and come with Grade 8 Zinc plated hardware. Unlike other aftermarket mounts, the mounting plate and studs of our mounts have been Cadmium plated to prevent corrosion.

Note: Priced as a pair.
