Hey, at least there's some action on the ZZ forum! Why I didn't try to include the "riff raff" in the N54 section by posting over there
Still debating the strut options, but performance brakes happening tomorrow...so more posts forthcoming...
IS right engine mount now $679!!!!!! WTF?

Ohlins is next on my list after Braum light weight seats. Apparently my seats are around 110lbs. each with all the knick knacks... so the Braums will be 25 lbs per piece and plus the rails... no idea how heavy the rails are but I am thinking changing seats will lose at least 110 lbs. in the front center...then delete the rear seat fold down...and lose another 40 lbs.
I'll sell you one for $750, never installed
Yea, this is nuts. Probably a bot that's marking things up to maintain some margin.

They are overpriced. I got them on both sides when they were on sale for around 300 a piece. Can't say I notice any gains in power to the ground vs. power loss on mounts. But my old mounts were shot so can't make any relevant comments on the replacement iS mounts. I did also try revshift and black forest mounts which I sold because I could not tolerate the harshness and noise level. I have one black forest stage 1 mount left if you want it for 100 bucks plus shipping.
Same here. I was able to snag another 335is passenger mount after trying Revshift and VTT inserts in 'cheap mounts'. I don't understand what makes the 335is so special but I am unable to use any other mount with the car. The vibrations are from another dimension of insanity.
Yes the whole thing is just insane to me. I just swapped my factory mounts for revshift 95A mounts, so I was a bit giddy with excitement when I saw what the 335is mounts were going for new! Though surely nobody in their right mind will pay even $200 for a pair of used 'is' mounts i don't think...
But after reading through this thread last night, you guys are scaring me with your stories of these horrible vibrations from the revshift mounts, and especially when talking about the trans mounts (which I also had installed). For me at least, the car will now be just a track car (after I break in the new motor) that may occasionally get out on the road on a weekend when its nice out, but holy hell y'all keep telling these horror stories. I'll at the very least need to have the idle raised up to 900+ it sounds like

I have only a passenger side BFI and OMG the vibration. It's probably the thing I like least about the car now. I had no choice but to raise the idle to 900 rpms and there is still some slight vibration. Stock idle rpm? Hell no - it will shake your teeth out and the rearview mirror looks like you're hitting bass in an SPL contest.
I don't even notice having my Turner 60A's with the idle turned up to 850. Stock idle was definitely a no go though
My idle is set at 1000 so there is zero smfw chatter. I don't notice any nvh with the rev shift motor mounts. I see no disadvantages of a high idle...if anything it might make driving the car a tad easier when I let off the clutch.
I never considered lower rpms being an issue. Makes sense I guess, must be some resonance at the lower rpms that goes away around 900+ with the solid mm.
I do like how they feel while driving.

I didn't want to compromise on idle, due to fuel consumption so I opted to use the iS mounts.
I wonder how much more fuel it really uses? While the RPMs are higher by say 400rpms there is still zero load on the engine. That being said I don't worry about MPG but this is my toy.
That's what I am running on driver side. It is fine.
I think passenger side was stiffened with the iS mount (more solid rubber instead of the air gaps of the 'cheaper mount') but not sure if that makes a huge difference with faster maintenance cycles on the mounts...
Yeah I'm pretty sure the fuel consumption difference for 2-400 RPMS is negligible lol
