Changing engine mounts, OEM vs Corteco

GOLDENDUSt86 · 02-09-2020, 02:30 PM

Anyone changed engine mounts? I'm thinking of the Corteco, they're half the price. I'm not searching for sportier performance or anything, just mounts that are cheaper than the OEM if they're as good as them,
Here is the link of mine in realoem
https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/par...BMW-320i&mg=22
And part numbers are as follows:
Engine mount, left
12211685941304
Engine mount, right
122116859414
Transmission bearing
22316796617
,
Total of all four mount , two engine and two transmission are 300$ , the Corteco would cost half on esctuning

They're the same mounts. BMW doesn't make their own, they source them...from Corteco.

i changed mounts recently and bought coretco. interestingly they had the bmw emblem in them which someone had tried to partially score off. so one and the same.

Happens a lot with these OEM supplier parts, especially ones that are cast like the mounts or suspension components. My F80 Tension Struts had the M logos buzzed off.

So, any vibrations, noises?! Are they exactly the same or better/worse? I find the OEM shirt lived

There's literally two other posts below it and above your question that say they are the same part.

i changed springs and shocks at the same time along with mounts and drop links.
The car is silent now bar when it hits sharp bumps(when there is a thunk at the mount area) which is because i have a b8 sporty shock
with stock i would get mount area rattle even on irregular road surfaces like a tapping noise which i don't now.
