Over the years we have tried just about every variation of engine mount offering on the market. Our favorite is STILL the OEM mounts.

ALL aftermarket rubber mounts crack and dry rot faster than the OE mount rubber. The Bimmerworld ones lasted the longest but still not as long as OE.

POLY mounts suck. Period. They're solid, sure, but feel terrible and the vibrations ruin the enjoyment of the car. The poly breaks down in a year or two of consistent use and needs to be replaced. We've seen some failures too, where the poly split.

Hybrid mounts are also short lived. They're nice (slightly more hum than OE) but need to have the inserts replaced somewhat frequently.

OE mounts last years and are excellent even for track use. We've found no reason to recommend anything else.
