OE Manufacturer for Strut Mounts?

[bmwfnatic]

Anyone have any luck finding genuine front left strut mount - seems sold out in US and Germany…

Wont find it, production has ended, wont be made anymore.

Thanks for the response. Is that confirmed or just generally the trend of how things are going with these genuine bmw items? Do you have any suggestions on what the next best thing is?

I have my original OEM mounts and will be doing eibach pro-kit / sachs refresh shortly. Ideally thinking about swapping out to new genuine top mounts at the same time. Thank you.

Corteco was making them, I went on their catalog website a while ago, you can enter the make and model and it shows the parts, and for the strut mounts it shows as that it’s discontinued.

Reuse them, they will be fine (I have some here from a 200k mile car that seem totally fine to use) if you absolutely can not then I suppose it’s time for some camber plates.

Thank you for the advice, much appreciated!

Another question for the forum. Are many of you just replacing the bearing unit and keeping stock top with good results? The factory bonded rubber to strut mount is a good isolator. As we know sloppy rubber means suspension moves and doesn’t allow suspension to work or respond quickly. The rubber in mine isn’t cracked, are people just replacing the “bearing” and happy? For those who aren’t familiar here is the bearing of the strut mount referred to.

Did you end up replacing these? Any issues or just fine?
