    I wanted to ask your impressions on the CMP subframe solid mounts that you have installed, how is the NVH with going with solid mounts? I have stayed away from solid mounts in the past but see many members here use these subframe mounts.

    I am mapping out my restoration on my m3, I am going to do the subframe reinforcement with a diff swap and wanted to make sure I take take of everything while I am back there.
    I didn't notice any difference, which is praise from an NHV perspective. I generally hate solid mounts, but this seems like a place to do it in a pretty pain free manner.

    Moving the subframe up, to restore some of the geometry changes from subframe plates pushing it down and the car being lower than stock, can only be better.

    Thanks. Except that Tapatalk doesn't have a search within a thread feature...
    And the main forum search - I can't even find my own posts using exact strings...🤷‍♂️

    Mostly unnoticeable. In good ways and bad—silent, didn’t do anything that threw me off or unexpected, but also didn’t blow me away in any way. It feels instant, predicable, and doesn’t open up when I use curbs (more on that to come). It doesn’t do anything funky under braking, etc. I guess the only “bad” is that I just don’t feel… impressed? I don’t know. Perhaps I was expecting too much of a change. It just feels good, and didn’t do anything that caused me to think about it, good or bad.

    FWIW, there's a search box at the top of each page, right next to the page selection tools for the thread:

    Does the house run on a V10? What about the E60

    I have not.

    My power curve isn't flattening up top, and my injectors aren't being run at 100%, so I don't see any reason to.
