Does anyone have a spare lying around ? it is part number 8 (refer to this link: www.realoem.com/bmw/sh...g=11&fg=10 )

Mine worn out already. unless there are other alternative solutions I can settle with ? Heard its quite a pricey item and there is no stock everywhere as it's not a common replacement item. otherwise are there any side effect in running without it ? I have one side taken out already while the other is still functioning.

Cheers to all!

I've been told that it cost around RM200+ for a piece. Mine has worn-out too. Will let you know if there's any.

bro jeembo..i duno the right pricing for this item to be able to offer u le..haha..but im open to reasonable offers la..not too high tho later kenot pay lol..urs is from the M40 right ?

aRRrgghh: urs is worn out too ? so ur running ur car without the engine damper ?

I did come across a site forum whereby it mentioned that you can switch to the 320 engine mounts in replacement of the engine damper as the 320 ones are much stronger and all...duno if this info is reliable or not..

datsunnismo: I did come across in other forums that the M20 engine mounting is used. but not much ppl here come across the situation from wad i've noticed and most have gone damperless haha..

yeah... some mech said m40 eng mounting doesn't last long without damper and better to use m20 eng mounting.

but i never try m40 ori mounting yet.....
