I can either just say to the garage - fine, replace with OEM (sounded like they thought there were 3 parts, £40 ish each) or get the replacement bits myself - better, and possibly for less...

So... The BSA lower engine mount is good, but a bit too expensive for me.

The alternative is Superflex bushes, but which ones? Top / bottom / gearbox? (Mine is a facelift car)

For lower we have:
SuperFlex: Advanced polyurethane suspension bushes
SuperFlex: Advanced polyurethane suspension bushes

For upper we have:
SuperFlex: Advanced polyurethane suspension bushes
SuperFlex: Advanced polyurethane suspension bushes
SuperFlex: Advanced polyurethane suspension bushes

For gearbox we have:
SuperFlex: Advanced polyurethane suspension bushes
SuperFlex: Advanced polyurethane suspension bushes

Are all of these needed / a good idea? On a forum search I also found people saying avoid polybushing the upper mount as that can increase vibrations. If that's the case - is it possible to find OEM style upper bushes rather than the whole mount shebang from BMW? I'm also aware that facelift cars are different to the pre-facelift ones - not sure how this affects the upper mount choices.

Any and all advice very much appreciated!! ]]> jerzybondov http://www.minitorque.com/forum/f13/engine-mounts-confusion-what-get-13523/ http://www.minitorque.com/forum/f13/milltek-exhaust-13477/ Mon, 30 Aug 2010 16:10:54 GMT I have done a fair bit of searching for info across various forums about Milltek exhausts for the R56 MCS and the results but haven't really come across anything useful.

So.. Who has a Milltek downpipe, highflow cat , manifold or even a full system?! [Anything Milltek]

Have there been many issues with Milltek and the R56 MCS?
What are the gains like?
Is the popping still present,and if so are there more pops?

Please bombard me with info and your experiences :thumbup: ]]> R56_Ollie http://www.minitorque.com/forum/f13/milltek-exhaust-13477/ http://www.minitorque.com/forum/f13/alta-accessport-tuner-code-reader-data-logger-13194/ Thu, 19 Aug 2010 13:20:13 GMT Could R56 tuning about to come more interesting?

Let's hope Alta do better with this than the UniChip! They appear to have access to more maps within the ECU than anyone else and can even program the sport button to run higher power/boost. ]]> kevkbuk http://www.minitorque.com/forum/f13/alta-accessport-tuner-code-reader-data-logger-13194/
