I think I have been persuaded that this is a good buy and if there is a group buy I would be up for it.
If not I think I will source myself soon.

Vibra technic engine mounts

Hi Z4 Forum People 
We would be more than happy to do a deal for Z4-Forum Customers, however the prices will not be as good as last year’s prices due to the Vibra-Technics retail pricing increase which happened 1st January 2016.
The 2016 retail price on these mounts is £123.48 inc VAT each
We can offer them at £100.00 inc VAT each (so £200.00 a pair) as a special deal as and when required, rather than trying to get numbers together for a group buy, as an increased quantity will not change our level of discount that we get from the manufacturer.
As has been mentioned and linked in on the forums, we did previously have them listed at a slightly lower price than this, however it’s no longer possible for us to do them at these prices as a result of the above mentioned price increases.
We have also been had a bit of a telling off from a few of our suppliers and been asked to stop advertising any discounted prices on their BMW related products, unfortunately some customers can’t stop themselves trying and blag a better deal with a different retail supplier – and when that retailer doesn't have the buying power we do and can’t match the deal they get upset and go crying to the suppliers.
So basically any links you may have seen in the past will now be marked up to retail price and those deals will unfortunately never be repeated.
Orders can be made via my e-mail address: [email protected] , or by contacting me on the phone 0161 776 0777 (option 1).
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Al Brown - Sales Manager

Possibly a poor phrase using the word clunk. More of a feeling of drive train being engaged and accelerator pressed after a gear change. Nothing nasty, but all I can compare it to is not as smooth as other cars if I'm not committed. Might just be a trait of the transparency this car shows vs my previous & mainly on cold engine & this certainly is a nicer drive once warmed up
Once warm it's so much better shifting after 3k than before, even if I feel a bit of a knob as even 3k in town from inside the car feels a few k revs higher than it actually is; always feels as though I am trying harder than I am when pulling away with mild pace.
Im a nightmare for just buying things, especially as 95% of my miles in a gentle motorway drive at 3,000rpm. I'm happy to admit (if not proud) that my skills are probably significantly lower than the car can handle, but enjoy it a great deal....not yet turned TC off though to give an idea as to my confidence levels - if it benefits the car / my driving then I will pay to get it done, I work hard enough to enjoy a few treats but need to prioritise
Looks: CSLs / aero skirts, Benefit: engine mounts
don't bother with engine mounts, stick to the cosmetics, the way your driving is fine for the stock pieces.

When fitting these do you need to replace the bolts for the engine mount bracket or is it just swap the old mounts for the upgraded mounts ??

Thanks beedub
Wish they did mounts for non-M...
Really, despite the non matching part numbers?
I'll wait for someone else to prove it :lol:

The part number for the 3.0si engine mounts is the same part number as the E46 330i / ci models. I fitted a set of E46 M3 engine mounts to a friend's E46 330cs last week with no issues. The physical shape of the mount and all the mounting hardware is the same, the difference is simply the rubber and the internal fluid cavity.
Plus the VibraTechnics mounts will replace any of the following part numbers:
11812283798
11811140985
11811141377
11817837985
This covers 6-Cylinder E36's
6-Cylinder Z3's
6-Cylinder E46's
E46 M3
6-Cylinder Z4's
(VibraTechnics website for reference)
That and I'm not in this job to guess things.
