    Anyone running RE trans mounts?

    I'd like to go OEM but they are $90 pop, ridiculous. The RE mounts seem like they might not incur an NVH penalty as they are neoprene and the bolt doesn't go all the way through the mounts.

    From the description they just changed the shape from and hourglass to cylindrical, although I don't doubt the rubber may still be a bit more dense.
    I love RE trans mounts. They're basically E21 mounts (but with 8mm stud for our braces whereas e21 has 10mm). No NVH, just beefier.

    Now which were you referring to going from hourglass to cylinder? RE mounts have always been cylindrical, and I doubt that BMW would change e46 bushings' shape at this point in time (unless they've been changed to fit newer models, and are backwards compatible with e46).

      Thanks for the info, I'll likely go with those. The stock are hourglass and RE's cylindrical from what I understood. That simple change in shape led to a bit less deflection.

        I run the RE mounts on almost everything, no issues.

          Been running into an issue recently where after the car gets hot, the throttle when I rev-match doesn't rev as freely. When the car is cold/hasn't been at temp for very long, the rev-match works as it should but after a while it feels like the throttle is almost getting stuck and maxing out around 3K. Has anyone ever ran into this issue? Is my TPS going haywire when it reaches a certain temp?

            Anyone got recommendations for street pads for the STOPTECH ST60 and ST40 setup? Thanks.
