    E60 top mounts?? I have had this noise for a while now which I can’t track down. I’ve replaced top and lower arms, drop links and there is no play in track rod ends or movement in wheel. I found this video online which is quite similar to the noise but I can’t recreate it like this, only...

    Just wondering if anyone’s got a good picture of the underneath of a 320d/330d with where the gearbox mount bolts to the chassis. I’ve fitted a gs5-39dz gearbox into a 323ci but the front of the bell housing is poking about 100mm into the engine bay. I’m pretty sure it should be about flush...

    *FIXED* 2004 E46 320d 150bhp - Engine Mounts - Access to drivers side top hexnut??? From above I can loosen the top hexnut for the passenger side engine mount, using 2 extensions and a universal joint - not necessary to remove any parts or covers (which is nice). However, looking at the...

    Hi all :D I have recently bought an E46 325 Ti SE 2002 and am slowly turning it into a drift car, i am looking for advice to which adjustable top mounts to buy for the coilovers?

    I recently got my Front shocks & springs replaced at my local garage. Stupidly I never got them to change the top strut mounts and now there is a knock. I ordered the strut mounts from Eurocarparts and they were offering either Lemforder or Corteco. The Corteco ones were more expensive but I...

    Ive a vibration coming through from the engine esp when you take your foot off the gas it smoothly resonates through the front of the car.

    My 2005 e60 530D has what looks like rust under the surface of both wing mirror mounts (black triangular bits). BMW only sell the full wing mirror unit and breakers so far have been reluctant to sell me the mount only. Thinking about refurbishing them myself but would like some input on the...

    I am looking at doing a complete suspension overhaul and have discovered that the reputable brands such as Lemforder list 2 types of front wishbone with different part numbers - for cars with or without M-Sport suspension. Does anyone know what the difference is? Apart from the M-Sport ones...

I use this car on the road as the missus uses our Audi, but I also use this car for drifting aswell. I'm onto my 3rd...
